York mouthpiece

Looking for an original JW York and Sons 91 Tuba mouthpiece.

It has a large shank that fits the York model 91 large receiver.
Both are larger than standard American size shanks and receivers.

Thanks,
Andy

Re: WTB: Baer MMVI CC in American Shank

I have one in mint condition. I bought it in the early 2000’s.

It’s engraved: Alan Baer
Gidding’s & Webster
MMVI
(There is no CC engraving)

It has an American shank.

The price is $120 including shipping in the continental US.

PM me if you are still interested.

Re: WTB Euphonium

Hi,

I have a Besson 767 serial #: 475162 (ca. 1969-70). It is 4 valve compensating, silver plating - mostly worn off, 11 inch bell 580 bore.
It is in very good playing shape.

I’ll send pictures in a few days if you are interested.

Thanks

Re: Any Eb tubas for sale?

There’s a 5valve York Monster Eb at Baltimore Brass - a little north of your price range, but worth a look.
