Bell tube thumb ring base is cracked>Repaired with a metal plate. 2nd tube ring base has a shallow dent. One rotary shaft cover screw is missing. Rotary disassembled and cleaned, water key and cork replaced, and each extractor pipe inspected and serviced. *Because of the extensive and large dent in the bell flare, it could not be returned to perfect condition. Please note that in its current condition, when placed with the bell down, it will stand on its own, but is slightly unstable.

[Features]
Alexander's F-tube tubas have long been produced as standard models, and until the early 1980s, the company had four different lineups of F-tubes alone (Nos. 154, 155, 156, and 157), indicating that the manufacturer had put much effort into the F-tube. The 156 in stock has three rotaries on the left and the right, so called "wiener tuba" specification, and as the name suggests, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra used this type of F-tube tuba until the mid-1990s, but the sound of the wiener tuba from Aleki in stock is not like that of the CERVENY or JUNGWIRTH. JUNGWIRTH, but the sound of the incoming alecki wiener tuba is distinct from the traditional wiener tuba, or rather the alexander tuba itself, for better or worse. The pitch sequence is no worse than that of a regular 157. We recommend this tuba for those who want to get an Alexi F-tube tuba at a reasonable price, without having to go through the trouble of learning the fingering.
