Re: SNL Doogie Howser Tuba
I believe it to be a besson to. I see that there is one similar to it on Dillon's website. The one on Dillon's one is an Eb but seems to have the same backwards valve block with the tuning slides on the back rather than the traditional front facing slides. The example in the video is (to me) a Contrabass given the size more than likley a BBb.
This is the Dillon's example:http://www.dillonmusic.com/HeleoCart/Pr ... 76662.aspx

I just remembered being extrememly confused by the backwards style on that little Eb on Dillon's, and my memory kicked in (for once).Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia-Nu Omicron Chapter

Re: SNL Doogie Howser Tuba
My old besson Eb had the "backward valves", something I've only seen on Bessons and I thing Yamahas.
