Another Mystery Tuba

[Heliconer]

Any ideas?? Looks almost like a giant Holton to me.

Wrong ferrules to be a Holton.

My guess is it's a York, or maybe a Buescher...

Do you have the entire picture? It'd be a hoot to see it.

It also looks like someone shot at it with a BB gun (maybe they were aiming at the banjo player....)

Kind of looks like a Martin to me, but I'm no expert:
-- squarish bottom bow
-- the ferrules
-- might be missing a tuning bit to get the mouthpiece in a better position

My first impression was that it's a big fixed recording bell York.

I would also like to see the entire "uncropped" photo if available.
