"Tuba" ?

These look pretty interesting, probably some sort of marching tuba/bugle. It's a really weird configuration though, with the single piston and single rotor and plumbing, and especially the way it's intended on being held with respect to the position of the mouthpipe... any thoughts? They're being sold together for ~$200, but being shipped from the UK... maybe...

Marching bugles. Pretty much useless unless you are shopping for a 'geezer corps'.

I've got one of these with just one valve sitting at home right now. They're pitched in G, and at least mine's valve lowers the fundamental by a 4th to D, allowing one entire G major scale to be usable along with some harmonics below the scale.
