That looks like a really small bottom bow - I would have guessed it was from an F tuba until you said, "school."
What is it from?

I'm guessing an old Besson 700 series... the guard marks are huge!

Kudos to you! More people need to take pride in their work nowadays.bloke wrote: Truth be told, I probably repaired it better than it need to be, but if I'm going to that much trouble anyway, why not another half hour to get it a little bit closer to "like new".
