Wonderful purchase today....an original 8" by 5.5" tintype in frame of a Civil War 'Zouave' Bandsman with his 4 valve (3+1) Eb upright Contrabass saxhorn with Allen Valves....doesn't get much neater or rarer than this....

The resolution doesn’t reveal much about the valve type.

I looked up Allen valves. Are they a rotary version of Conn’s short action pistons? Anyway the the knuckles look like they have been flattened.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

That is a very rare picture. Thank you for posting it. I imagine that it was quite difficult to march with and to play anywhere near in tune.
