NAME THAT TUBA...!!!

[The Jackson]

Jupiter 582L!

[Todd S. Malicoate]

Yep, Jupiter 582...not so tough, apparently.

[Tubaing]

The wrap on that Jupiter has a slight similarity to that large 191X Conn tuba that was eBay little ways back.

[SplatterTone]

I'll make it easy. Full shot of both sides of the horn. Even include the logo. Turn your monitor sideways. A little blurry because I was not using flash.

[Tubaing]

Holton Eb low pitch circa 191X-192X?

[SplatterTone]

Holton Eb low pitch circa 191X-192X?

You even got the year! Serial number puts it at 1919. Odd size mouthpiece -- I'm SOL if I lose it. Unplated valves still tight.

[The Jackson]

Elephant, I can't see the horn you are asking for because there is a Yamaha YFB-621 in the way. Edit?

[Tubaing]

Yama YFB-621?

[Tubaing]

Dang-it Jackson. I've been foiled again!

[Tubaing]

meinl 32 with york bell?

[Dan Schultz]

Holton Eb low pitch circa 191X-192X?

You even got the year! Serial number puts it at 1919. Odd size mouthpiece -- I'm SOL if I lose it. Unplated valves still tight.

The bell off one of those is what used to be in my fish pond! The bell is now on a Willson somewhere out west. I have a complete valve section for one of those.

[Todd S. Malicoate]

That's a Besson leadpipe...not enough in the shot to really garner any more info (other than it looks like a small one...probably an Eb).

[Tubaing]

How bout from this angle?

[tubatom91]

anybody?

[Todd S. Malicoate]

How bout from this angle?

Much easier...that's your JW Pepper high-pitch Eb (the engraving gives it away). I thought you sold that?

[Tubaing]

I sold it. And you are awarded a TB Point.

[Todd S. Malicoate]

anybody?

Miraphone 186? Love that detachable bell design...

[tubatom91]

not quite

[Tubaing]

Mirafone Standard?

[tubatom91]

It is a Mirafone. I've never heard of the term "standard" though
