Seriously, that is one monster horn -- I'd
love to have a chance to play it (bet it'd be great for quintet
).

Hmm...
A big bell doesn't make a BAT. The bell throat is definitely BATish and the bottom bow ends BATish, but it doesn't start BATish. I say not a BAT. But, a really big tuba!

Bloß noch ein Peckhorn Mosquitolini style! Gottlieb davon wrote "Les Petits Riens". Großer Arsch für little gas.

Yes, this thing was a big gnarly BAT. I have some other pixx available here:

As to "what key it was in", I'd say that' anybody's guess. It was somewhat continously variable, depending on what key you felt like playing in at any given time.
Say, I *was* a sharp lookin' feller...

One of the local tuba guys here built one of these things. Converted a big Buescher sousaphone bell to play upright then grafted it onto a King 1141 BBb. It plays in approximately CC, (the 2nd partial is amazing), but there are lots of "you can't get there from here" notes.
