TubeNet

No idea of what tuba it is, but that is hilarious!

I'm pretty sure Besson

was that a Mini Moog? Vintage, very cool!

I believe it to be a besson to. I see that there is one similar to it on Dillon's website. The one on Dillon's one is an Eb but seems to have the same backwards valve block with the tuning slides on the back rather than the traditional front facing slides. The example in the video is (to me) a Contrabass given the size more than likley a BBb.
This is the Dillon's example:http://www.dillonmusic.com/HeleoCart/Pr ... 76662.aspx

Hilarious! That gave me a nice boost this morning.

Well, Tom, Kevin probably owns two Bessons. He *should* know!

that was outstanding.

I've only got one, and it sure doesn't look like the one in the video! I just remembered being extrememly confused by the backwards style on that little Eb on Dillon's, and my memory kicked in (for once).

My old besson Eb had the "backward valves", something I've only seen on Bessons and I thing Yamahas.
