Hello,
I am parting with my 1928 York Recording Bell Eb (3v non-compensating) tuba to help raise funds for a tuba purchase for a student. This is a fun horn that has almost 100 years of history! It is in great playing condition, and looks great considering how old it is!
It comes with the original hard case (does have some broken latches), separate bell and body case.
It is located in Virginia.

Thanks!
Your website is really wonderful!
This horn has a serial number 929XX which puts it around 1928 according to what I found online.
Do you happen to know what they called this model?

I believe it's a model 666 (really!) Top Action Bell Front Bass Eb and should have a 20" bell
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

How does a PayPal scam work?

Great video with lots of info... if I only didn’t have 6 bell-fronts already. BTW this looks and sounds very similar to my Besson bell-front.
20 tubas and counting

I am happy to set up a video chat if you are interested in the horn. This horn really should go to a loving home and get played more.

I don't know where the old video went, so I made a new one with a playing sample. It is all in the google folder.
Let me know if you have questions! I would love to get this horn to somebody who can play it more/better.
