A left handed upright saxhorn?

Post by bisontuba »

Hi-
Recent packed this up and it is in restoration-a Lehnert of Philadelphia Eb upright tuba/contrabass saxhorn brass & nickel silver with three string rotary valves--built for using the left hand??? Check out the spatulas. And somebody didn't just take them off and put them on backwards--in order to connect the string to the rotors in back, this IS the correct position. Could it be somebody lost or couldn't use their right hand? Doing more research on it right now. No garland and a water key-c. 1870's?? Enjoy the current 'before restoration pics. Mark
