A video demonstration of this horn can be seen here.
Here is a cool instrument. This is a JinBao Meister Hans Stauffer Wagner tuba. It is essentially in mint condition, as it was only lightly used by an individual here in Phoenix.
These Wagner tubas are GREAT "bang for their buck" so to speak. As Dr. John Ericson writes in his review of these Wagner tubas on HornMatters.com (quoting The Horn Guys, who once sold this instrument), "the choice really is $10,000 or $850 when it comes to price for a Wagner tuba, there is no middle ground." So if you're not playing in one of the great orchestras, and if you're not made of money, this is a great choice. And now that this one is technically used (though it is essentially mint) it is even cheaper! So really this is a great opportunity to get your hands on a cool instrument used in some of the later Romantic music.
The valves are a little clunky in sound, but they do have great compression. The horn overall is of fine build, and will be a fun instrument to play around on or even to play in orchestra where the instrument is called for.
