That does appear to be a CC from the first valve wrap etc... looks like a 52 with a modified 4th valve wrap (maybe they trashed the "bigger bore" on the 4th).

Need to go get my magnifying glass!

J.c.S.

it's in CC, it's not a 52J, the rest is a secret

They might bach at that.

Yeah, but they might selmer tubas that way.

I'm not holton my breath on that one.

Yes, after all, they would perfer one to their li-King, so as not to be considered Conn artists. So until it is released to the general public, I'll just be Martin time.

How about a reproduction of this;

1918 Conn 48J CC "Donatelli"

One of the most in tune and responsive tubas I've ever played.

And lightweight, too!

Mr. Dallenbach is welcome to check it out anytime!

I'd shoot my grandma for that thing...

Wouldn't that make the urn disintegrate?

Just a matter of having a transparent mind.

If I could get that guy top play my tuba with a Kellyburg, It'd be on America's got talent for sure !

If it is transparency you desire, I know one prominent place NOT to look(although transparency was promised).

I want one!

[Sam Gnagey]

To me it looks like something I've been building for about 15 years.

You can contact me if you want this one:

[J.c. Sherman]

Exactly, Sam. I want one. I already can see I want one. It looks like a 52J but it isn't a chopped 2341. It looks "fixed".

Hi folks,

I will tell you one thing and one thing only: that isn't Chuck's tuba, nor is it anything that Conn/King/Selmer has made. I will tell you that I am the proud owner of that tuba as well Everything else shall remain a secret.

By the engraving and flair it looks like a York bell on a cut-down 2341 body. I imagine that Chuck liked it a lot. Probably plays considerably better than the CB-50.
Did you put it together, Andy? A big "nice work" to whomever did the job.

[The Jackson]

Mine is in the mail already. What's the point anymore?

[bort]

Wake me up when there's some real info.

[catkins522]

Love to hear what Chuck could do with my 5J...Naaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Or my 4J... SWEEEEEEET!!!!

[TheHatTuba]

Anything new?

[Lew]

Here's the photo.

I just love the engraving on that thing. Too bad that probably won't be a factory option.

On the Canadian Brass Facebook page, there's Chuck with a tuba with a carbon fiber bell (according to Canadian Brass's response to a comment thread). It looks something like a Conn 2J-5J with a different/altered valveset. Here are some pics I've collected from Facebook. Is there any other info about this tuba?
