It is ideal, Klaus.

The crappy pictures and the fact that it's located within a reasonable bus drive away from my house might make this a very reasonable end price. (For me) :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

If it ends up with you, then please send some photo really displaying its design.

It looks like an Eb wrap to me
Cant carry a tune but I can carry a tuba.

Has similarities to an Eb wrap, but I am quite sure it is Bb tenor sousaphone. Don’t know the brand mentioned, but it looks being way better than the Indian fake double bell tenor sousaphone in my other thread of today.

24" bell wnd 54" tall doesn't add up to a tenor, considering the wrap.

Comparing a bad photo with a worse one, to me it looks like horn-u-copia ID 1023 York Eb Sousaphone (that's all the info.) Proportions of course do not look right, but that's a photography issue, I'm thinking more of what I can make out of the valve tubing. Could be coincidence.

No idea why the same instrument design would show up with "York" and "Crestone" marks.

The bell flare, bracing, piston caps & buttons, ferrules = B&M. Def. not a York...

Sure, the Crestone isn't a York stencil, but I'm clinging to the notion that those two are the same Eb instrument. Probably "York" should have been "York Master", which I gather were imported from Germany/Czechoslovakia?
