Can anyone identify this tuba??
A friend asked for help in finding out what make this tuba could be. Does anyone have an idea?

Re: Can anyone identify this tuba??
Agreed. There are a lot of these floating around out there wearing different stencil names, but they all came from the B&S/VMI shop in Markneukirchen. Generally they play quite well.
This one looks restorable, at least from the pics. I assume there's no name or serial number on it?
