Holy crap! Look at this tuba. Who in their right mind would opt to learn such an instrument? “Timmy, what band instrument would you like to learn to play?” “Well, mom, I think I want to play the tuba – but not just any tuba, a tuba that will give me debilitating back pain by the time I’m 20. Pleeeeeze, mom?“

That’s not a big tuba. It’s a tenor fartonium.
Common mistake.
Too bad this tuba is only partially functional…The valves don’t work…This tuba is orginally an outdoor display piece for a music store. If someone would manufacture a FULLY FUNCTIONING tuba of the same size as the one displayed here,with working valves, this would be an ideal instrument for a large symphony or philharmonic orchestra!!!
this is a tuba and u need to do ure research it used to be a diplay peice until it was donated to some people and it was restored to be functional completley the valves work just no one can reach.
