Herold tuba?

[drbekken]

Does anyone know anything about this brand? I have a three valve non compensating Eb tuba, brand name ‘Herold’, probably around 35-40 years... Seems to be no info anywhere.
Will try to upload picture...

Can point you at horn--copia.net entry. Not much there...

Thank you...there is a tenor horn pictured here, which looks a bit like the tuba I got in certain details. It doesn’t seem to be dated, however. I have tried to upload a picture, but I’m not tech-savvy enough so far...

The New Langwill lists two "Herold"s related to brass instruments (one a dealer, the other a maker). Those would both seem to be mid-1800s to early 1900s.

You need to select "Herold" from the drop-down menu on the left of the screen, but I'll save you the trouble.
It returns only "There were several Herolds, two of which were recorded as brass makers. Conrad Gustav of Klingenthal (1793-1900) and Fritz of Aschaffenburg (1854-?)."

The only image on there that I can find are a flugelhorn from 1873:

and an undated tenorhorn:

I have really tried to upload a picture, but I can’t seem to get it right. However, there is one over here:

Here i was spelling it like the first name...

Prof. Hill, or the fellow with the purple crayon.

And thanks for the picture! Explains the dry in heraldry.
