Conn short action CC tuba

This horn was for sale at Dillion's about 3 or 4 years ago. It is a Conn CC using short action valves made from an Eb Conn body.
Does anyone know where this horn is now? Any news on the whereabouts of this horn would be greatly appreciated.

I think Mike Lynch owns it, I pretty sure he leant it to Don Harry. I know that Don played it in tuba quartets at the ITEC in Cincinnati.

Thanks for the responses. I know about the Mike Lynch / Don Harry horn, but I thought there is a second one out there somewhere...

Thanks Bill. Yorktown sounds like a good place for tuba players!

I played one in 2000 or 2001 at the University of Oklahoma back when Ted Cox, Sam Pilafian, Brian Bowman, and Deanna Swoboda used to do a summer Tuba Workshop there. It was a 4 short action piston + 5th rotor tuba in raw brass. It wasn't mine...it belonged to a young man (college student) that I recall was from somewhere in the eastern US (Virginia?). Obviously I don't remember his name. I do remember him saying that it was a Matt Walters tuba from Dillon Music. It may be the one that is pictured in the first post in this thread and the one that bloke remembers checking out. If not, the tuba I'm thinking of would be yet 'another one' that is 'out there' somewhere. Maybe this is the Yorktown one that is mentioned? I dunno...
