Was it this one? This is my instructor's York. I have played on it a few times. Cool horn!

Mark Wolfe's tuba?

It's a cut horn, btw.

Yes. It started life as a BBb with upright valves, went through the Rusk cut and then had the 5th valve added on later.


...or something like that :roll: Sweet horn!

Yeah, I just didn't know if he wanted his name on the internet saying he owns a very...nice tuba.

Really? that's nuts. I couldn't tell it was cut.
The big hole between the main tuning slide and bottom bow is a giveaway that it was cut by Bob Rusk. Plus, there's the super shorty tuning slide.

Yup. Those poor shortened York bows, telescoped inside each other. :cry:
