Wichita, Kansas

Used Yamaha YBB-641 Concert BBb Tuba; serial #012865

Not certain where we acquired this good example, but it's not ancient, has most of the dents and dings balled and burnished out and it plays very well.

Please note!  There's a  wrinkle to the bell that we elected to NOT completely remove.  Easy to do:  put 'er on a flat plate and beat the bell to death with a flat hammer, then file and  sand.  Which we did not do.  No breaks to the metal and the wrinkle is pretty much normal to a concert tuba.  HOWever, if a new bell is required, give us another $1550 and we'll make this lovely lady look "almost new again".

Does have a wood case with it, solid but not beautiful! We could substitute the wood case for a New MTS hardshell case for an additional $500.00

Also please note that shipping costs can be expensive, so if you live near Wichita, a "hand-to-hand" delivery might be possible.
Not perfect, but very usable, good players, reasonably priced!
More information?  Write me in Wichita. In business since 1953, same ownership since 1963. We’ve been here almost since Noah got off the boat.

Wichita Band Instrument Company is a small musical instrument emporium located in the center of the USA.  The owners are Kansas natives Gary L. Ray and his two sons. 

Founded by a woodwind repair technician in 1953, we soon will commence our seventy-fourth year in business.

We’re not a “back bedroom” operation but can report that we are the owners of a proper “brick and mortar” workshop.

We enjoy a sterling reputation for ethical business transactions and confirm to our friends and clients the simple fact that we expect to be in business forever.

Wichita Band’s service warranty is the same as it’s been for more than four decades:

“ALL new and all used instruments sold by Wichita Band Instrument Company come with our 24 month service warranty. It’s in addition to any factory guarantees. For two full years, we will repair or replace (whichever in our estimation is the more advisable), pads, corks, springs or other parts required, at no charge to the customer. In the event of cracked or damaged wood sections, we will repair at no cost to the customer or replace the section and charge the customer only for our net costs for the replacement section. Often, wood replacement parts are supplied from the manufacturer at no charge. The customer is responsible for shipping and insurance charges. Cases and plating finishes are not covered by our service warranty but are sometimes covered by factory guarantees.”

Wichita Band Instrument Company maintains a repair department capable of restoration work of the highest quality. Even though repairs are essentially “free” for the first two years, after that period has expired, we remain at your service to maintain and repair your musical equipment forever. It’s our “service after the sale” promise and has been since 1953!

 In the event that a customer requires service under factory guarantees or Wichita Band’s service warranty, the item must be returned to us and not directly to the manufacturer.**** WICHITA BAND INSTRUMENT COMPANY / WICHITA, KANSAS /  USA
