If I come across something, will let you know. As far as I know, the Amati tubas engraved with B&F were identical to most Lignatone instruments and usually were nickelplated.

Do you have any knowledge about the models numbers that were used? for instance my Amati B&F 69 looks very similar to the Amati B&F 1657 you have a blogpost on (although mine was a 3-valve from the factory). Also I have a Cerveny 1660 which is clearly an Arion model (but is not marked as such ...

Wunderlich tubas were made in Markneukirchen, in their own workshop, and the models made pre WW2 were often fantastic instruments. Although hardly known in comparison to Bohland&Fuchs or Cerveny, Wunderlich, when set up well, are some of the best out there. This one on the other hand, is ready to ...
