Meh, too lazy.
And have comprable layout instrument (28", but longer mts) that i know to be eb, so i am confident in my guess.
Vince isn't alone, as others thought it to be a baritone.
Really cool none-the-less, and probably a bit bigger bore and bell than the other (which i got to play at a tuba christmas)
