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?

Is the toe included?

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