Re: York 696
Thank you for showing us that Dale. As a real fan of the York 700 series (600 series for C?), it is really great to have a look at that horn.
Quick, semi off topic question: Does your 692 have the same .750 bore? THe catalogs listed the 692 as a "medium" bore I seem to remember.

Some old Yorks, Martins, and perhaps a King rotary valved CC

Re: York 696
@dp, thanks for the post and the story!
I guess my early run 2165 is a bit of a descendant from your 345. Personally, I like mine similar to how you feel about your 345.
Always interesting to see and hear about these curiosities of the evolution of the instrument.

Re: York 696
Recording bell tubas are completely out of vogue…which is why I own two of them, and have one more in queue as a project instrument for myself. 
Re: York 696
I remember one (maybe the same one?) being up for sale on eBay a number of years back. The FIXED recording bell put me off at the time, which in hindsight was a bad reason not to bid on it….. 
(I could have easily made it into a detachable recording/upright bell horn)
