I have four tubas + a serpent
My main Ax - a 2165
My F - an original B & S Symphonie F
An old Conn 3v Eb
A turn of the century helicon in Bb

And a fiberglass copy of a serpent pitched in C. No keys, just 6 holes

Weril 3/4 CC Tuba - Ensemble work... Traveling...

Pan-american (york?) Eb Tuba- Solos. Looks like garbage, but it plays well

Bach Tuba - The tuba I am forced to play for school. I hate it. I need at least a Miraphone 188 or a good cerveny.

FrankenContra (mostly a DEG Dynasty horn) - What happens when you have 3 or 4 non-working contras laying around and decide to make them work. It is rather disturbing to look upon. maybe I'll post a few pics.

How about Amati's pistons? Do they work?

They work ok as long as I keep them well oiled - I also swab them with denatured alcohol once a week

My horns are:

1. A silver Jupiter BBb sousaphone from about 5 years ago.
2. A brass Bestler BBb tuba which I recently bought on E-bay.
3. The Besson BBb tuba which I'm selling since I have the Bestler now. and
4. I'm planning to use a fiberglass sousaphone on loan from the band that I'm in for the marching season. I'll see how this works out compared to my brass sousa.

So that would make 4.

If tenor tubas count,
Boosey & Hawkes Sovereign 4v compensating.

Also a Sear-Du Prins 4 front valve BBb.
There are four or five more I want, but I'm pacing myself...and keeping my marriage intact.

Wow. I've seen threads raised from the dead before, but a thread from eight years ago?!? Very impressive.
