Interesting item.

Is this another example of a B&S stencil horn?

Most likely in Eb.

There's another wrap in there, a long 2nd, and the 3rd and 4th valves are indicative of this being a small BBb. Handsome little horn!

That's not a small horn. It's another example of a VMI 101/B & S ... aka Sonora, Carl Wunderlich, Gerhard Schneider, etc.

Most certainly a BBb.

I don't see how the seller can ship the horn from Switzerland for only $85. Even just putting a stamp on it, would cost more from here. I don't think this seller has any experience shipping tubas.

Any buyers in the states should be aware that the shipping will most likely be more expensive and will have to pay customs on the insured / declared value.
