Re: Mahillon 4 top valve C tubaYou understand that the "C" in "C Mahillion" stands for "Charles" and not the key of "C", correct?

It "was", but IIRC he's playing a Meinl-Weston now. Frank

Re: Mahillon 4 top valve C tuba
The one that HoJo played had an upright bell and I've seen his daughter Nedra playing it over the past few years. Other than the recording bell this one appears to be similar to that old one (which was sort of the basis of the MW designs). https://youtu.be/yP-W4N_lpCw American sailboats, airplanes, banjos, guitars and flutes ...

Re: Mahillon 4 top valve C tubaAuction was ended because of an error in the listing. Wonder if they saw this thread?
The detachable recording bell would make this tuba kind of unique. All the ones I've seen so far, including mine, have non-detachable upright bells. The rather small bore and the resulting short valve stroke make these horns extremely agile. Frank

Re: Mahillon 4 top valve C tuba
I've never played one but always imagined them being similar to the Ling 12xx/23xx tubas/sousies: agile easy to play and excellent native intonation. Just came across a removable bell model, text search for "Mahillion" http://www.oberloh.com/sales/tubas.htm American sailboats, airplanes, banjos, guitars and flutes ...
