http://www.hornguys.com has a "raw-brass" Yorkbrunner for sale, although it looks like it may have been stripped of the silver at one time.

So, Joe, with your new digs, when are you going to start producing the "Bloke" line of concert tubas and the "Eric Von Schteric" like of sousaphones?

I think this is the Yorkbrunner that Paul Krzywicki had in the early 1980s. Paul puchased the horn without silverplate, with the exception of the valveset.

I thought I remembered one like this that passed from Paul to Don Little, and eventually to Warren Deck. Maybe this is the one.

Oh...now Miriah (my tuba) is offended. She's crying. :cry: Are you happy now?

But, really, a rotory, laquer horn, with no model name or number, can be a REALLY good horn.

I love Miriah

I think bloke was being facetious.

Paul sold his Yorkbrunner to Mike Bunn which Mike later sold. Don Little's Yorkbrunner was one of the original Yorkbrunners that were made back around 1980-81 and later sold it to Warren Deck in 1988.
