Pre-Owned Hirschbrunner Model 1927 Professional F Tuba - Silver Plated
We have an absolute heavyweight piece of orchestral brass royalty on the floor today. The Hirschbrunner Model 1927 F tuba is a legendary European masterpiece, handcrafted for orchestral players and serious professionals who demand a massive, chocolate-rich tone and elite intonation flexibility.
This particular horn carries a distinguished provenance, coming to us with an authentic United States Air Force (USAF) pedigree. It has been fully gone through by our team.
Our compression testing shows that the valve section is lacking some of the tight factory-original air seal (if you pull the slides out a bit and depress the valves, you don't get that classic "clunk" back-pressure feedback). However, don't let the numbers fool you on paper, in the hands of a skilled player, this Hirschbrunner blows and sings amazingly well, maintaining an open, responsive, and gorgeous voice that projects effortlessly.
