Back in 1999, I went to Dillon and bought a Schilke prototype CC tuba. It served me well, and I added a fifth valve from a YCB-821. In 2003, I ended up selling it to Anaheim Band out in SoCal.
Does anyone out there know where it is now? Matt, at Dillon, told me there were originally two, but since I added the 5th it should be unique.
Just wondering.

Re: Schilke tuba, where are you?
There have been multiple configurations of Schilke tubas that have come to light on this site, most of which have been called "prototypes:"
-CC in a configuration similar to the current Yamaha 621
-CC in front action with a long, tall body
-CC in top action
-F tuba (never seen photos, but they've been talked about here) - possibly multiple configurations
The only one I've ever seen in person and had a chance to try was a 4 valve, silver plated, front action CC similar to a Yamaha 621. It was owned by David Payne who retired from Texas Tech University 12-13 years ago. I don't know what's become of that instrument since that time.
Which one was yours?

Mine closely resembled the current Yamaha 822. One could tell that the valve set was three with the fourth added on.
