Since this is an older F, I am wondering at the approximate size of it? I am guessin this is a smaller horn?

[imperialbari]

Hard to tell when there are no measurements, but I tend to agree with you. The F & CC version here is not original. TJ had the original BBb side converted to CC. The case also looks like made for a larger tuba.

I manipulated a bit to make the engraving more readable:

Dave Amason loaned this tuba for a performance while TJ still owned it. Dave says: Interesting little horn.

Klaus

No.

And Dave didn't buy this tuba from TJ (he bought one of TJ's much bigger tubas).

Would you go on a blind date with someone described to you as "interesting" ?

FWIW, much more quickly than I would with someone describet to me only as "beautiful".

My interesting wife doesn't think much of me going on blind dates these days.

But, looks like somebody bit the bullet for the BIN price.
