B&S Neptune in silver?

Title says it all... just curious, did B&S ever make any Neptune tubas in silver? Or all in lacquered brass?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I always thought that the gold tinted lacquer on the Neptune was one of the Neptune's "things" that was supposed to be special. I've never seen or heard of a silver one though I suppose it is entirely possible a few are out there.

Go down to bottom and it gives all options for the Neptune. Silver is an option.

That's what made me curious as well... if it's a misprint or if they actually built any in silver. Completely inconsequential to me, I'm just curious.

If they're willing to make this... I'm sure there's a silver one out there somewhere.

I have never heard of a silver Neptune, but bet they would have made to special order. I have what is believed the only all gold brass Neptune in the world

Is that a factory job? The lacquer spots are curious... Although if that's not a factory job, it's amazingly clean!TheHatTuba wrote:If they're willing to make this... I'm sure there's a silver one out there somewhere.

Not sure, but I believe I had an old catalog that said it was an option. Argh, to have a silver rotary one... And I don't even prefer silver tubas that much!

IIRC, one of those left-hand rotors is for a quint valve.the elephant wrote:Who is the owner of that Neptune? how are the 5th and 6th slides? 1 flat step and.. ?
I don't remember who the owner of this Neptune is who originally posted the photo.
