Horn I.D.

Hi all,

A friend of mine (who has already engineered two different foot-operated tuba-playing machines, chromatic and all!) is looking to get an I.D. on this horn. Can anyone help me out? Or at least gimme an idea as to what brand/model?

Thanks all!
Al

The tuba is on a contraption where the player can operate the valves with his feet. My bandmate is able to play guitar/tuba or fiddle/tuba with astounding facility on both instruments. He's just looking to see if he can appropriate a horn like that one for authenticity's sake.

Thanks for the replies!

...and apparently bought from a government auction after several years in a middle school!

This is killing me, why does that photo look so familiar? I think I have a post card with that on it? Ugh, I can't put my finger on it!
