You can see examples of different finishes,etc. Just click the link to my other items at the end of this ad. Thank you. This is an offer to completely overhaul (restore) your TUBA (ANY BRAND). The overhaul includes the following: I chemically clean the instrument - inside and out. This removes all the old build-up inside. I remove all the dents. I gently buff the entire instrument for the highest "luster" while maintaining the acoustical and structural quality of the metal. I use only the highest quality, instrument grade lacquer in the refinishing process to retain and protect the highly polished metal. I lap in and align the valves to the valve ports for best tonal response.  I have a master of music degree, and 33 years experience repairing instruments. I know what the serious player expects from his instrument's performance. I take great pride in my work, and enjoy giving someone a beautiful instrument that looks great, and plays great. I take just as much care refinishing a student instrument as I do a professional instrument. I repair and restore instruments for many professionals and students, including faculty and students at 2 local universities. For this price, the instrument must be complete. Any missing parts that are currently available parts will be an additional cost. Sometimes, I have parts that fit in stock, or can make the part. No severely flattened or crushed instruments will be accepted. If you are not sure, call me, or email a picture. I can take large and small  dents out so that you won't know where it was.   BANDS - THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO HAVE YOUR BEAT UP OLD TUBAS LOOKING GREAT - SAVE MONEY -DON'T BUY NEW INSTRUMENTS - HAVE YOURS OVERHAULED - I OVERHAUL ALL WIND INSTRUMENTS !!!!!
