There was a YARK brand at one time, It was not related to YORK and this horn has YARK on the bell. Not a great tuba waiting to be reassembled.

Yeah. But... the seller still doesn't know the horn is an Eb!

So is it worth "diddly" or "squat" ?

It's not a "Yark"; some of the German Yorks had a triangular "o" making it look like "Yark"... I often refer to post-war Yorks as
Yark" that way around the shop.

I have one of these, actually :)
