So I'm looking into buying a vintage/antique BBb tuba for dixieland.(preferably made in the USA)
Not professional, just for my own enjoyment.
I recently found someone selling a vintage 1946 F.A. Reynolds Cleveland silver tuba.
The serial # is 15957

I would like to know how people find information based on the serial #. I'm trying to figure out if this tuba is in the key of BBb or not. I'm hoping it is...

Thank you for your time.
