Description
WICHITA BAND INSTRUMENT COMPANY 2525 East Douglas Avenue Wichita, KS 67211 Tel: (316) 684-0291; FAX (316) 684-6858 Email: wbic@wichitaband.com LARGE BORE YAMAHA YBB-201 BB-FLAT TUBA. This one’s a model YBB-201, the large bore, three piston, up-right bell model. Bore size is .728 inches and it's got a 17 1/2 diameter bell. Suggested retail price on the 201 is now $6946, with street price on a new one is now around $4850; our starting price on this beauty is about one-third that figure. YES YOU CAN BUY ONE FOR LESS MONEY ON EBAY, but it’ll probably be a school instrument that’s got worn valves, a badly wrinkled bell section and with lacquer worn off. OUR 201 IS CLEAN, HAS HAD ALL DENTS REMOVED AND WEARS 85 - 90% ORIGINAL FINISH! Price includes original hard-shell wood case that's solid but not very beautiful! The bottom line is that our 201 is definitely a “best buy” with a “buy it now” price of $1650. Or, if you want to risk it, we’ll start the bidding at a lower figure and maybe you’ll get it for a bargain price. BAND DIRECTORS NOTE...We've got two of these beauties now in the shop, just in case you need good tubas at bargain prices! Questions about brasses? Email us at wbic@wichitaband.com or telephone Richard Bentson or Steve Slater, our brass specialists, at 1-800-835-3006. NOTE NOTE NOTE. After a considerable amount of screwing and glueing, we've got the case for this beauty looking pretty good! Solid as a rock, now even looks "almost new". ***** Wichita Band Instrument Company is a small musical instrument emporium located in the center of the USA. We’ve been in business since 1953 and have had the same owner since 1963. Originally we were a repair shop that specialized in wind instrument restoration. Today we have 18 employees including seven of the finest repair technicians in the country. Virtually ALL the items we sell have been fully reconditioned in our own shop, although we do sell a few unrestored historical instruments each year. It’s sometimes possible to buy a horn on Ebay for a low price, but unless that instrument has been reconditioned by a reputable shop, you won’t know how it plays until you spend another few hundred to have it mechanically overhauled. With an instrument from OUR shop, you know it’s in the finest condition when it arrives at your home! Wichita Band’s service warranty is the same as it’s been for more than thirty years: “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. 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’s service warranty does cover dents and dings to your instrument. If your instrument sustains damage to the body, end bow, neck, slides or bell, we’ll burnish out the dents and make it look “like new” again. The cost you is absolutely nothing except for shipping and insurance charges. 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. Anything we sell can be sent to you for a short approval period without obligation. We collect NO SALES TAX, unless you’re lucky enough to live in Kansas. The customer is responsible for shipping and insurance and must pre-pay back to us any freight charges on returned equipment. International shipping is available. Returned items will be refunded within 3 weeks of receiving the item. We’re happy to send any instrument “on approval” for five days, but ask the prospective buyer to pay shipping both ways and to please reimburse us for clean-up and re-stocking charges, 2.95%, on any returned instrument. VISA/MASTERCARD/DISCOVER/MONEY ORDER/CHECK/WIRE TRANSFER ACCEPTED. Credit cards not accepted from some countries. We must ship to the credit card billing address with exceptions made only at our discretion. We’re happy to correspond with musicians, players, parents and enthusiasts of all types. Written appraisals are always available, but please don’t write or telephone and ask “what’s granny’s baritone sax worth?” Do an Ebay search and you’ll learn more than we could ever tell you.
