1940-41 school year.

I'm just gonna sit back and watch the attempts to ID the tuba. It was long gone 20 years later.

Mid-30's King Eb "Symphony" bass.

I'll bet the capes were also gone 20 years later.

Except the tuba in the photo has a detachable bell, (the collar and adjustment screw is visible). Did King make them that way this early on?

A friend on mine had a tuba that looked like this. It was a Conn BBb.
No idea what model.
The cues I see are the close to 90* (right angle) recording bell and
smallish bell diameter compared to the large body.

Young men with rakish good looks playing tuba and digging on sweet flute players has been going on for some time!!

And, off topic, how odd is it to see a female trombone player in that era?
