It's hard to tell from the picture's but from the looks of it you can move most or all of the slides with the defferent levers on the back. Looks sweet, wonder what key its in? (PS the seller says it has four valves but to my eyes it looks like five am I crazy?)

I knew King made rotary tubas, but that Conn is new to me. I was aware that Conn, for some time, has been importing Czech-made rotary horns, but the engraving on the back caps of the rotors looks almost Miraphone-like.

Very interesting horn, would not call it "new" condition. In addition, I wonder how one is supposed to do any valve maintenance with the tuning levers in the way on the back?

No Flat or Sharp Notes

This thing is a brass bagpipe!

I remember this guy selling a very nice looking tuba a few years back, and it that was also redesigned by Harvey E. Woolsey .

Looks to me as though there are only 3 slide-adjustments; main, 1st, and 3rd. So my guess would be that the 4th rear paddle would be for the 5th valve, which looks like a maybe a flat 2nd...
