Keefer Eb [ I think) Philadelphia

Think this is a Eb, a bit rough, but cheap...

Not totally sure of key either, but i have seen the 3rd valve loop wrap on a Keefer Eb sousaphone so i tend to believe it is Eb due to the single upper bow.

Baltimore Brass has one for sale too:

and list theirs as an Eb

(and just to include the craigslist pic)

I think i would believe these are similar sized, just that the camera is nearer in the craigslist pic. And i am inclined to believe Baltimore Brass knows what it has.

Anyway, i still think the world of Keefers! Someone give them good homes!

With the BBC picture, I agree with you!
