the double belled ones or the ones that have 4 valves are.
It might have a good sound... but 3 valves noncomp can be rather limiting in musical selection.

No, tubas are always better.
Seriously, that looks like a nice horn!

When were the CSO CC Yorks made? York & Sons, or York?

How is it possible that a band instrument company developed a reputation only for its very large tubas, and everything else they made is considered mediocre? Aren't tubas one of the most difficult band instruments to make because of the sheer size? Wouldn't that mean that if they could make a tuba well, they could make anything well?

BTW, I have a York & Sons
rotary F/Eb/D/C curved alto built around 1913 that is
not so worn, with built-up rotors that are halfway between Berlin valves and regular rotors, that plays REALLY well in F -or- C. remember, York had a l-o-n-g history, and went through many, many manufacturing phases.
