My photo?

Someday maybe...

Others can with my blessing (this is it) as they wish, if folk get too impatient.

(And no, i don't really think myself a harbinger of doom. It just makes for a good story...)

Late 1940 York (Carl Fisher bought York in December) 702 (3v front action) with a York Master 4v valve set (thank you to that kind hearted person). It came to me in sad shape: 3 bows cut in half (ease dent repair?) and pistons that you could see the horizontal movement. Then again, in good shape would have been outside my means.

Warning: Things in mirror (bell) are smaller (18”) than they appear.

She’s not the prettiest, but she’s more fun to play than I deserve.

Nice York! I really like old tubas and am glad that you rescued her!

I have a York Monster EE flat that served me very well as my bass tuba. I gave it to my father and he loved the York (and played it well). When he passed away (many years ago) I got the York back, I keep saying it is like having my father's sword!

best,
Mark

I really liked the proportions of the bugle when I got it too! I I'm very pleased with how it looks (and how it plays)!
