Hi-
I am wondering if anyone owns a vintage Conn 36J and/or 48J CC tuba--the 36J pic below (the first pic) is from the Conn Bass catalog of 1924/26--(Note: the 34J is the BBb version--I know they exist, but I am curious if a 36J CC exists)--length 40 inches, width 21 inches, weight 26 lbs., and bell diam. 23 inches. It is the New Wonder Model Orchestra Grand Bass-4 front action piston valves and is in CC.
The other horn pictured below (the second pic) from a 1930's(?) Conn catalog is a 48J detachable recording bell front CC tuba--'August Helleberg's favorite' (according to the catalog--Note: I believe it is this type of horn that Harvey has in gold plate, which he acquired from John Helleberg, and which may be copied in Europe). It is the New Wonder Phonograph Model Bass in CC-weight 18 lbs., length 39 1/2 inches, width 16 1/2 inches, bell diam. 15 inches-4 front action pistons, model 48J CC tuba.
If anyone has one of these, please post a pic of your horn for us to see. I am sure everyone would like to see it.
Thanks-
