Buescher bump :bugeyes: I've been driving around the state a bit for another hobby recently. If you're in Flag/Tucson and interested, let's talk.

Re: Martin BBb tuba question

Now that you know they exist, ask about the rotary version. It's Martin, so there might be some out there :bugeyes:

There's a really old 186 BBb also on the bay right now.

Really wish the dog (the big bad dog) was still viable. You could have two pieces of old metal from me instead of one :teeth:

The extra loop in the bugle says "not F" to me, but I've never seen one of these not in F.

Re: For sale: B&S Goldbrass Baritone

Cool horn and I like the hard case.

For sense of scale, how big is the bell and bore on this?

Re: eBay (Yorba Linda, CA pickup): Besson 995 CC

So, are there rotary PT7s? Sorry if that was answered :red:

I had a really good Neptune for a while. Had some cool ideas (minus the detachable leadpipe :wall:), not sure how many of them did anything. For example, all slides were inside outside. Cool, but...

Re: eBay (Yorba Linda, CA pickup): Besson 995 CC

Was the PT7 ever offered as a rotary instrument (Neptune?)? I think I've only seen piston/7P versions.

FS: Large Buescher Eb

For sale is a large Buescher Eb from 1923 with an 18.8" bell. Maybe of interest to a frankensteiner or someone just interested in a pretty, 100 year old horn. Not to say the horn is beat up, but the pictures make it look better than it is (I'll see if I can capture some of the imperfections on ...

Re: York Tuba, sister horn to “the” York

Anything in particular? The horn I posted had a 19" upright, which was supposedly worse than the recording bell for a number of reasons.

There's a very similar/identical York on Mr. Denney's website: https://www.rickdenney.com/york.htm

Re: missed opportunities with mismatched bores..??

Isn't most of Miraphone's piston stuff just about that size?
Including the F, sadly.

Re: vintage tuba illness

The minty York 716 I bought several years ago. Sold it to someone on the other forum, now owned by someone on this forum. There's another York that will be a good player too, but it's waiting in line to get prettied up :tuba: From the title, I thought you caught some early 20th century respiratory ...

2145 was Sam Pilafian's (though not sure how much he actually used it)
2155 was Warren Deck's
