Warren Deck's OWN 2165s are still for sale. Both have been re-worked - newer Nirschl valves, 1 tuba has a heavy weight bell and the other has a light weight one - NEITHER have a weighted ring inside (Warren stopped using that set-up a few years aga) Both have new custom leadpipes. Both are unlacquered.
ALL WORK WAS DONE BY WARREN.
These instruments are one-of-kinds, in GREAT shape and need to go quickly.
Warren is asking $8500.00 each - FIRM - and I have them here at my home in New Jersey for play-testing. They cannot be sent out on approval.
Please contact me privately if interested.
Thanks -
