Recognize the tuba? Tubist?

This is a fairly distinctive looking instrument. I know I've seen its kind before, just can't place it (I'm no great fan of nor expert on F tubas anyway). A B&S if I'm not mistaken, though. Hellacious player and hellacious group, new to me.

so, then there’s also mr. brandstötter…
just a true tuba player...
perhaps not as big and heavy as a real tuba player, but otherwise…
you can talk to him about certain things…
about f-tubas, about e flat-tubas, about c-tubas and about b-tubas for example...
and about tuba mouth pieces…
I don't know what that horn is, but I believe he has had a few unusual F's. I'll be seeing them play at my college in March.

You can see it better in other videos of Mnozil Brass, but his tuba has been modified with a seventh valve, which I believe switches it from an F tuba to BBb. Dunno what the brand of tuba is though.
