A son of a friend in Orlando has an Eb York Bell front tuba in silver that looks to be in very good shape needing minor repairs and a good clean up. They believe it's from 1929. Can you recommend a price for this Horn? I'll be glad to relay questions or set you up to communicate directly.
Thanks, Ike

Ike, the recording bell may add a little to the value for some, detract for others. Doing a cursory web search, for upright bell Yorks it seems to be in the $500-600 range for similar condition.

Re: Price recommendation on Eb York
THANK GOD. I've got an identical tuba in lacquer\ raw brass that I haven't been able to find pricing, or even an equivalent model for. The serial number on my horn points to a manufacturing date in the '30s, according to my sources. The 1st and 3rd slides pull, along with the main tuning slide, and the pistons have still got a pretty close tolerance, despite the age. I'm thinking I could get, what... $300 or so for it?
