Jim O'Briant found this:
strange tuba.jpg
He thinks it might be German, but has no other info.
Any ideas? (I have not done a Horn-u-copia search yet.)

I've seen that picture before. I thought it was a Thein tuba, but I can't find that picture on their website.

Here's the website:

There are still a couple of pictures there (the one above, and a close-up of the valve section). Several previous threads on TubeNet about it ... all previous links-to-pictures seem broken (apparently they've reorganized their website).

Great!
Thanks for the quick replies... very nice details on the valve-set (bet that horn costs a bunch!)

I think this is the valvset that got put on the Kronos.

It seems to me that the Kronos would have way too many places for water to accumulate. The Kunst seems to have the individual valve circuits arranged to help with that.
