If three valves are good enough for the famous tuba soloist, Mr. Ned Walton, well then that's good enough for me!!

Ned's got his Sunday-go-to-meetin'-best 3-valve Buescher for the picture!

Minstrel ephemera, especially a large broadside, of an individual with of all things a tuba being built as a tuba soloist, should do well...

Is it a Buescher, or is it a Besson/Boosey?
Might it be compensating?

Looks to me like the Buescher "Epoch" valve system.
Not compensating.
Turned around on this cornet.

Me wantee! But for the price, I'd just get a maniqin, tux, mustache, and a wall-hanger.
19th century Conn tubas entered on 2nd valve.
