Buescher tuba in SoCal?
Does anyone have a Buescher tuba Eb or BBb in SoCal that I can toot on for 10 minutes in exchange for me buying dinner?
Some old Yorks, Martins, and perhaps a King rotary valved CC

Re: Buescher tuba in SoCal?
The B-flats typically feature a very long capillary portion (not... but AS IF they are lengthened-to-B-flat from C)...The full-size 4/4 ones are .726" bore (can be re-tubed/reconfig'ed from scratch - if motivated to do so - with 18.5mm bore slide tubing).
Later-era Selmer USA (1950's - 1970's Signet/Bundy/Buescher/Selmer) sousaphones' (the ones which resemble 14K/36K Conn) pistons work (to the best of my knowledge) in the 1920's Buescher valve casings.
The E-flats...nice bells, bottom bows, braces, and water keys...not very useful (in my opinion) as put-together instruments.
