HN White King "BBb Symphony Recording Bass" made between 1930 and 1935 and nickel plated in appearance. Boosey&Hawkes BBb 3 valve upright tuba. Looks like a trash can and plays like a dream. The most in tune tuba I have ever played with a rock solid register from top to bottom and a gorgeous sound. It fits the kindergarten report card comment,"Plays very well with others"!

Never owned one, but I will in the future. A factory original Holton 345 BBb, a 345 4 valve CC. or a 5 valve CC. Only played the 4 valve BBb, but man was it sweeeeeet.
