Not a 'con', from description and appearance, but a small/medium bore model

"100% playing condition...i dont know anything about tuba"
Amazing how sellers can use terms like 100% when they don't know anything about the merchandise they are peddling...

Imagine! A horn with an authentic "tunes pipe!" I bet everyone on here is drooling with envy about now. I know I am.

I'm sure they're not sure, but from the description (sketchy as it is) and the pictures, this is a "USA Line/Grand Rapids/Band Instrument Co" small bore tuba. Grand Rapids was owned by York, and, according to a later employee, came down the same production line.
One look should tell you that this is not a full-size tuba, but rather, the kind that was bought by small town band tubists who could not afford two tubas, and so marched with the same one.
