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

My old besson Eb had the "backward valves", something I've only seen on Bessons and I thing Yamahas.
