SOLD: York-Holton Bb Frankenhorn, Tabor-built: $1400

The "Yorkton"

Tabor Fisher's first build.
Bugle is Holton with a 19" bell. Valves 1-3 are York from an Eb Sousaphone, circa 1927. 4th valve is Grand Rapids.
Mouthpiece receiver fits a Euroshank mouthpiece.

The "Yorkton" is a Bb horn, mostly raw brass and has two patches as shown in pics on the link. I did some dent work on it. The valves were recently re-plated. Some of the new nickel was worn when they were lapped, so they aren't perfect.

This horn has an amazing sound, that of a true American tuba. Articulation is crisp and it dances in the upper register. Sadly, I have too many horns in the barn and I'm reluctant to let it go.

The "Yorkton" comes with a custom top-load bag. I think it's an Alteiri. The horn is located in Orange County, CA and I would encourage anyone interested in this horn to try it.

$1400

I'll throw in a Giddings Euro Caver Lite for and additional $100. It works well with this horn.
Shipment by Greyhound CONTUS for an additional $100

Very interesting horn! Is that the main tuning slide on the back side?

[Heliconer]

Is the toe included?

[TubaTed]

Main tuning slide is on the back of the horn. The first tuning slide is accessible through the horn.
