Identifying Conn Tuba

Post by apurdum »

I ran across this Conn BAT without a bell, and was unsure of what model it would be. I figured the experts of the TNFJ could help me out. Also if anyone had a lead on where I could find a bell I would appreciate it.

Depending on which bell it has, it's either a 24J (recording bell) or a 25J (upright bell).

So, without a bell, it's either both or neither....
