@tylerferris1213 is "Frankentuba"-ing up my Frank Holton and Son's medium Eb with a identical rebuilt valveset to this (re-platted and fit by Anderson before Seacrist retired but never reinstalled on an instrument). I hope to have it back soon... nudge nudge nudge

I have owned an identical tuba SN16378 for 50 years. Sill played in performance. Bell is engraved with U.S.N.
