B & F Eb tuba
I have for sale a C.Bruno & Sons Eb tuba made by Bohland & Fuchs. It has B & F on the back of the #2 valve. The original Bass trombone style receiver was replaced with a standard American receiver. Likely built in the 1930's-50's. May be a high pitch horn as I had to swap the slides around some to get it to play in tune. they are all interchangeable. It may have been a gift or presentation horn as it is marked "Made Especially for William Lamb, Pottstown, Penna." Mr. Lamb was the father of William F. Lamb, director of the Pottstown Symphony Orchestra, and prominent Pottstown community member. It plays well for a smaller horn. Selling because it has been replaced by a Besson 981. This B & F is nice for smaller ensembles and stand-up work as it only weighs 12 pounds. I have the original mouthpiece, simply marked "Eb Bass". Could use a tune-up, felts, corks, etc. but plays well as is. Actually false tones very well. There is no case. $500 as is. Unable to post pics as file is too large. PM and I'll get it to you as time permits. Foggy
