Can you identify this tuba?

Post by jon112780 »

It was a surprise to see a tuba in this video.

It's at 18:43-18:50 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otvrS-AYq80" target="_blank

It's a pre-1918 German tuba with rotor valves; showing a glimpse of the back and from a distance...

Any guesses?

Hi-
Maybe(?) an early Alex F tuba? Pretty interesting it was 'salvaged'.......
