Unknown 3/4 tuba
Anyone know who might have made this.http://www.ebay.com/itm/252082290404?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT" target="_blank" target="_blank I try to buy cheap beginner tubas for the local school so kids can learn how to play this noble instrument.
Thought the thumb ring on a small horn was different.

The top (and bottom) bows look pretty rough. It has had a hard life, I bet the valves are not well cared for.

Yes it is beat up pretty well. The price would have to be VERY low to consider it.
