Building a Tuba From Old Parts From Five Different Horns

[Bob Kolada]

Cool stuff! It'd be sweet if Kanstul would make these, either with front valves -or- maybe as a top valve horn with a comp valve set (euphonium valve set with longer slides) as a big ol' euph in G.

J.c., let's see that mini mini Bb of yours!

[J.c. Sherman]

Okay, Bob - pics will be posted tonight!

I'm working on a similar G (or perhaps F) instrument. I've done F, but I'm looking for an instrument for Mascagni and other older Italian literature, Ophicleide/serpent stuff if permission for ophicleide or euph isn't forthcoming, and some quintet literature. It's all over my bench now.

Bob's talking about a <ahem> BBb compact cimbasso >:)

Really nice work guys!!
