York or B&M make a rotary Eb and Bb. That's pretty cool. Well I guess I shouldn't be surprised B&M making a rotary Bb.

Answers a long-unanswered question for me. My York Master (Model 81 in these catalogs) was originally owned by Oscar Lagasse, but it was never determined if he had acquired it in the late 50’s or the late 60’s. The 62-63 catalog shows the fourth valve tubing tucked in next to the bell on the front side, the way York did it on the Model 712. Klaus Bjerre’s YM was arranged that way.

Mine had the fourth valve tubing on the back side, which is how it is shown in the final ‘71 catalog.

So, that answers that. Late 60’s.

I have the York master model 52. Perfect little travel tuba.
