Welcome back, Wade. I bet he played some pretty cool MP's too. They probably had a small end AND a big end.

Quoting Mr. Erickson from an earlier post:
"My orchestral tuba since 1983 is a Hirsbrunner 5/4 5 valve made in 1974.
I also play a Mirafone 186 5 U made around 1980. This is my solo, chamber music, Brahms, Mendelsohn horn.
I use a Conn Heleberg with all my tubas...."

Heres some info on Sumner's horns:
Big CC: HB-6 in raw brass
Small CC: 1980s Miraphone 186 (serial # in the 10000's)
F-tuba: Older Perantucci in silver, with no model number on it (as I remember)
He used the HB-6 on the Art of Fugue Recording with the PSO Brass.
Hope this answers some questions.
