We've got a very fine silverplated-like ( I assume that it has an nickel plate - maybe my word for it is wrong I'm from Hungary)BB Contrabass- tuba made by Otto Knoll before the 2nd World War. It belonged to the SS Army Band, but thats all we know, and that it has still an incredible sound, almost like a CC tuba.

It is now under restoration here in Budapest, but we cant find anybody who would re-nickel it for us.

If you have any ideas please let me know it. Its not a problem if it's in Austria, Slovakei or Germany, we just want to get on with the restoration.

Thanks for any help,

Kind Regards
