It is about 8 meters long, 98 cm high and has a bell diameter of 46 cm. The bore is 20.2 mm throughout. An incredible piece of craftsmanship. It was probably built at Bohland and Fuchs in Graslitz. Thanks to all who helped me to find this tuba. First of all Tom de Lombarde! Marcel Boom for the great video. Happy World Tuba Day!
I have played from: The Carnival of the Animals (Le Carnaval des animaux) - L'Éléphant (The Elephant)
Have fun listening!

Very fun, Daniel - thanks for playing for us!
Side note: L' Elephant was the first non-church public tuba solo I played back in 7th grade. The gymnastics team heard me playing it (on an old 3 valve Reynolds) and one of the girls recorded me to use for her floor routine music. It's been a favorite of mine ever since.

^ Not a museum. Fewer expectations. :)
BTW, thanks for playing that tuba in a video! I seem to recall Ian posted some 30-minute video that showed and talked about the tuba and didn't play a single note. I was like this:
