Re: Hartford CL Holton Raincatcher
I can check with the seller if ya want.
I got a sneaking suspicion it is the same seller who sold a particularly large Holton helicon fairly recently. But i could be wrong...

Re: Hartford CL Holton Raincatcher
Too lazy to actually contact 'em, but they have updated the pictures so it is obviously a raincatcher to those who don't know sousaphones...
Thanks for playing!

Re: Hartford CL Holton Raincatcher
Looks like a possible contender for a CC helicon conversion.
Not that I condone such behavior.

Re: Hartford CL Holton Raincatcher
It looks like there's a modified tuning slide on there - perhaps to bring it down to low pitch from high pitch? Or am I viewing the photos incorrectly?

Yes, common practise back in the early 20th Century.Gongadin wrote:It looks like there's a modified tuning slide on there - perhaps to bring it down to low pitch from high pitch? Or am I viewing the photos incorrectly?
I have several York Monster Eb tubas - older ones have the "W" tuning slide, slightly newer ones have a curly cue ingeniously arranged to be switched between high and low pitch.
