That is the question:

I've emailed the seller twice and have received no response. Do I stand corrected?... or does this horn appear to be a euphonium?... NOT a tuba. Secondly, the valve section looks like B & M. Any opinions out there in TubeNetLand?

The mouthpiece in the case certaily looks like a bariphonium one.

It is a euph. Probably from the 80s, but I'm no guru. Based on the scarcity of Mirafone pistons back then, I would guess they were buying from B & M, as were many.

I'd probably agree with bloke for this one... the bottom bow does look way to small to be a tuba..but it seems a bit large for a euph, so maybes its an eefer?

Well, even looking at the case the guy has it in, it looks too small to be a tuba...but our eyes can deceive us...
And uh...maybe it's sorta both: A tenor tuba! Too big for a Euph., too small for a tuba...
