Re: Cerveny 681 meets Besson new standard…
Thank you ARP! I got it, and nothing is going to be done as they are 2 good tubas, just wondering if the 17” will holler over the 15.75? Solid brass against hammered brass I guess. Maybe it’s a crazy idea, like a 3 valve compensating sousaphone. Crazy she calls me, sure I’m crazy…

Besson 3 Valve Compensator Serial Number question
Hello everyone, I purchased a Besson Bb 3 valve compensating tuba for $600. I think I did okay with that, it has the usual bash from past tip overs. But it's not unplayable, it's built like a tank, and the compensating tubes makes it a great "set and play" kind of horn. My first horn in that style ...

1937 York, What model?
Hello Everyone! I am new to this forum, but not new to tubas.
