Did anyone here purchase this tuba?

Post by Tubajug »

Did someone here end up buying the tuba pictured below? I'm interested in the idea of using an Eb body to make a CC tuba (way down the road...) so I'm doing some research. I sent a PM to the original owner of this, but it's still sitting in my outbox, so I'm assuming he hasn't been around here for a while.

What I'd like are photos of this tuba (or any other similar project anyone else has done) showing how the valve section was mated to the body. How many branches of the body were used, how the tuning slide worked in, was there any fabrication of a bow or dogleg, etc? So if you bought this tuba below, please send me as many pictures as you can for my research and planning. Thanks!

Again, any of your projects are welcome too!

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.
