Looks pretty huge... no bell, though.

If it's a York, it would be c.1916

Is this a 6/4 "monster", or can you tell from the photo?

Doesn't look that big to me, although that's just a very uneducated-in-these-matters opinion, so take it for what it's worth. Here is a "4/4" valve forward model

This tuba is owned by my ex-fiancee, and it needs a ton of work. There is a patch on one of the valve casings, and it just wasn't in very good shape when I last saw it.

Andy, thanks for the info!

A patch on the valve casing, not the knuckle?

Wow.
