Very old Viennese 4RV tuba

Post by Heavy_Metal »

Assuming it's not a stencil, that is. I'm guessing Eb?

Too tall and too many loops for Eb. I'd say BBb for this one.

Might be right- I thought the valve circuit loops looked shorter than on mine though.

Too bad this wasn't up last weekend- I was in Chicagoland and could have tried it out.
