for that price of shipping, I would just drive there (24 hour round trip)

interesting horn though

Valves look shot, but was going to try to test play it since it's local. Seller messaged me to say he had added a BIN, and it sold immediately. Ah well. Somebody bought a project.

Cool tuba. I have the top action version. Mine is engraved Wurlitzer.

Would this be considered a orchestral grand?

Size-wise it looks like this one at BB, but the tubing and valve layout is different. It seems like pre-WWII Conns follow a lot of different patterns.



At BB:


Another at BB:


One at the Simonetti Museum. This one is supposed to be an Orchestral Grand, but it's a different wrap. Closer to the one that just sold, however.

sure would be easy to shorten to C… Then, the owner could enjoy a really flat G & F-sharp, versus F and E.

Here’s my Conn. Looks very similar to the tubas in the pictures.



Ignore the tuba on the left.
