This is Beethoven's hearing trumpet used when he started going deaf.

B&S made stencil BBb. Maybe Gerhard Schneider or Sonora or something like that.
EDIT: whoops, didn't see that it had already been answered.

Too easy, Wade...that's a two-valve contrabass bugle, most likely a DEG. Is that an old G model? Looks just like the ones the corps used when I was teaching Black Gold.

I'm going to guess a King K-90.

I thing Bloke is having a good laugh at all of us goobers who buy a tuba and then post in here asking what the heck have we bought.
I would love to have the "G" tuba above and the fine lady to play it for me.
Klaus, I didn't see a King tuba listed in your arsenal. Do you find Kings to be of mediocre quality or have you not found one yet that trips your trigger?

Were we obligated to only ask about our own instruments? The detail I gave isn’t from one of my own instruments, neither is it a King. Yet King made instruments of a similar configuration, which is the only type of tuba having guards in this place.

Not a C, but a Miraphone F (note the shorter 1st valve slide). Is this one of the newer Firebirds? Has the look of a 181, but a more open wrap than I remember seeing on those.

Yeah, look at that vertical tuning slide. The 188 has a horizontal slide and is also a lot bigger.
