What is a clone and what is not? With the leadtube it's more Alexander or
Cerveny.....Or B&S (BBb rotary)
I agree it has some similarities in design, but so would most 'German' designs
Exterior is about the same as a NS. It starts out with the 18mm bore as
I wanted a more soloistic approach, but to make it as much as a do it all as possible,
I gave it tapered bore with the 4th circuit a heavier gauge tubing.
So there's really just one of these in the world
So far
Made by St.Pete but with several modifications

I loved my Boosey and Hawkes 981. It was a much better all around tuba than my 20J. But the 981 couldn't compete with the 20J in concert band. And since I only play tuba in concert bands the 981 had to go.
