Looks good. Whatever student did this doesn't deserve to have another school instrument.

If that’s what you call “good enough” I wouldn’t pay $100 more for better than good enough either!!
I am committed to the advancement of civil rights, minus the Marxist intimidation and thuggery of BLM.

It's four-valve, front-action, and in extraordinarily well-preserved condition...
...but it's not rotary, it's not European-made, and it's not in C. (It's American-made).
Nice work on the Jupiter!

Of course, they chose the lower one, so I'm having to hurry, and judge "good enough", but here is only a PORTION of what is required to make this back into a tuba...

Did you have the bow guard for the horn somewhere before? Is that part new to the tuba?
