Re: FS: B&S Mel Culbertson F Tuba Prototype
Just looking at it, is it fair to say that it's a standard B&S F body with the bottom bow trimmed at the large end for the Kruspe bell? I would imagine that it has better intonation than the production version if this is the case.

Re: FS: B&S Mel Culbertson F Tuba Prototype
The Culbertson F tubas were REALLY big F tubas... and this also appears to be quite large. With a powerful low register, it seems more like a small CC tuba than a large F tuba.
Very cool... I wish I could spend a few minutes playing it!
