Frank Holton Tuba

Post by sveinhenry »

Hello
I traded this tuba to me a time ago.
What can you tell me about it (History etc.) and what is your opinion on it (if you hav played on once ?)

The Serialnumber is 34475


I also have a problem With it. The smal slide to the 1 valve has a got a smal hole in it... Is there anyone out ther who may have a spare slide ?

I think it's probably a horrible, unplayable instrument and I'll gladly trade you my St. Pete EEb for it. :wink:
Really, though, it looks beautiful. Would love to honk on it.
