Coincidentally all of that info is in my signature. The Parker rim is a 32 I believe and it has the titanium H-kote.

2011 Yamaha YCB-826 CC — Warburton TG-1
1964 Holton 345 CC — Schilke SHII-CLE
1971 Mirafone 186-5U CC — Sellmansberger Symphony (tuba recently sold)
1989 Kurath F — Sellmansberger Solo (original, single-piece prototype)
These can change (depending on what I am playing), but this is the basic setup I keep returning to.

Mine has changed since my 2018 posting on p. 5 of this thread.

Loving it.
