Pretty neat.

This looks like the source material for AI generated tuba imagery.

It would be a cool wall hanger, or rafter hanger, if you are into the Cracker Barrel aesthetic.

Not me, but I wish it was me.

Nice looking tuba with a weird MTS that reminds me of some of the old Conns.

Looks to have a linkage conversion, but in nice shape.

If it's solid concrete, you could use one of those glass resin capsules that you put in before the fastener.

Congrats on the new horn!

Dillon had one a long while back that was set up 4+1 with a bad scotch-brite finish. It also looks like a 2-3 combination fifth valve too.

I had a silver one in the shop for a little bit from the Eastman display at NERTEC. I did not want it due to being a little heavy on tubas for our store so Baltimore Brass picked it up. I really liked it even in comparison to my older 3400-FA5 Erickson. It has very similar playing characteristics ...

Neat horn and it looks to be in nice condition.

Reacting to something else that you said, a 15-in bell compensating E-flat may well be the best E-flat alternative for an F tuba, if someone is viewing an E-flat tuba as an F tuba alternative (though I personally never viewed E-flat tubas in that way). Sadly, once John Fletcher stuck a 19-in bell ...

I've spent a lot of time with the Besson 983, Willson 3400FA-5, Eastman EBE853, and the 3400 Capet. All of them are really nice tubas and there are more good examples then bad in my experience. The Besson, Willson, and Eastman are all pretty good "do-it-all" horns. As in, if I had to own just one ...

I mean it's been based out of the same office for 15 years. They have been threatening this for the better part of that time as well. I worked there for 3.5 years handling government sales and what's left of Jo-Ral.

Addendum, this was the York I was thinking of. Discussion: viewtopic.php?t=7463&hilit=york

Saw this one near me, kinda reminds me of a Yamaha YCB-822 with the fifth valve in a different spot. There was also a York on FB that looked awfully similar to this design, so I wonder if that was the instrument that inspired it. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1224987011811928/?ref=search ...

I'm being totally serious here I would order 200 gig bags if they would make them in a couple different unique sizes and allow me to put a stencil name on them. I wonder what the minimum order it would take to get their attention? Honestly, they do OEM work for a lot of companies. I've got no clue ...

The issue is it seems to be a shame to simply throw out the old case. That's a large case, a lot of garbage, and it probably has use somewhere else. I just couldn't trust putting a 30+ pound horn in it, when it's definitely the reason the seams are opening up. Look up a textile recycling place or ...

Frederick, but I am regularly down in Montgomery County.
