Birth of the Cool
So I know that the tuba player on Mile Davis' Birth of the Cool is Bill Barber (thanks wikipedia) but I was wondering if anyone knows what the horn he used was?
thanks!
thanks!

Bill Barber, to the best of my knowledge, played a King, rotary valved, CC tuba like Mr. Torchinsky's and Mr. Bell's. Don Butterfield played a King, piston valved BBb tuba. Please correct me if i am wrong.
