What tuba is this

Re: What tuba is this
Looks like a B&S model 102. Imported to the USA under various names like Meister Gerhard Schneider and Giardinelli. Does yours have an engraving?

Re: What tuba is this
Thanks for the link, Blake. I missed it somehow when I was looking for BBb Symphonie info on Jake's site. Maybe because I was searching for 103?arpthark wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 10:02 pm Looks like a B&S model 102. Imported to the USA under various names like Meister Gerhard Schneider and Giardinelli.

My new-to-me BBb Symphonie 102 (or 103?) is great to play, and I can't wait to get it into some good playing spaces and to see what it sounds like with other brass.

Re: What tuba is this
Does it really matter, "what kind it is?" It's a tuba.
One year back in the '80s, the local folk music festival's yearly auction had a tuba. I don't remember the stencil, but similar eastern European thing maybe imported by a local music store. Among all the fiddles and various knicknacks, this giant brass thing. There was no ebay back then. The auctioneer went through every last ridiculous bundle of drumsticks and whatever, and then kind of made as if to wrap it up. "THE TUBA!!!" sounded from many throats. I took a shot at it, but it went far over my limit, and someone else went home with that big brass tuba with 4 rotary valves. What kind? Who knows?
[edit - it was a "Crown" B&S.]
