The tuba was made in Europe in the Czech Republic, approximately 15 to 20 years old.
Valves and slides all work. Plays nicely with a good scale. The bell was crushed and repaired at one point; there are multiple patches on the inside of the bell. The repairs on the bell and elsewhere on the tuba were done very well.
