You don't see these too often.

Sure is a 'dinky' tuba. There's nothing at all like it on the H N White website. The seller didn't mention a bell size. But... at 27" tall, it sure looks like a euphonium to me.

I figured it was a funky measurement; the way the bell extends out passed the top bow made it seem like a bariphonium at first glance, but I shrugged it off. No wonder I've never seen a King Eb tuba like this!

...but this one surely is a tuba.

Yup. A $3.25 alto horn. Sounds about right to me!

Hi,

I am wondering if this page has the instrument in question, or something like it. A 14" bell small side action EEb tuba.

I am hoping to get this for my rucksack!

No! You're putting me on!

It's 27 inches tall. A lot of that is just bell, the bows would be not much more than 18 inches, and there isn't a lot of tubing coiled up in there. This thing would fit inside the bell of a real tuba. The seller admits it isn't a tuba. It might be a nice baritone, though.

My mistake. I was really hoping this was a tiny tuba...

It is, but not Eb.
