From King: 

"Nicely proportioned and beautiful in design, the King Symphony Model Bass (Model 1241) is especially convenience to handle and to play. King valves ensure free, fast action. And the valves are placed with a few to your comfort -- they are close to the right hand, and the long, awkward reach necessary with most basses is eliminated. 

This model is usually light in weight, which, combined with perfect balance is a double assurance of ease in holding. 

The King Symphony Model Bass (Model 1241) should be the choice of every musician wanting an upright bass with the utmost in tone, beauty  and playing qualities."

This tuba can PLAY!! It's got an absolutely massive sound, and demands to be heard. This is a result of a tight wrap surrounding the valves, and a HUGE bell with a very sharp flare. It fills up a room with sound with very little effort. Cosmetic blemishes notwithstanding (dent scars, evidence of soldering, lacquer wear throughout), this horn is deserves to be played, and will be an excellent tuba for any player for many years to come. 

Our professional brass technician needed to put quite a bit of work into this horn to prep it for sale, but it worth it! Besides a thorough cleaning inside and out, our tech needed to remove quite a few dents from the bow, bow guard, tuning slides, and inner branch. Several things also needed to be re-soldered - specifically the tuning slide to body brace, tuning slide inner brace, outer tuning slide ferrule, 2nd and 3rd tuning slide to valve braces, as well as both bow guards. But we do this so you don't have to! All the hard work is done, and the only thing left to do is have you out to give it a try!
