That is a very tempting tuba....I saw it listed on Facebook for $1,995, so they either came down in price, or just offer it lower for locals. I would love to try that thing.

I doubt that Matt Walters built that horn. That question mark shaped port on the third valve would be a no-no in his book, I’d wager.

Not that it doesn’t work or anything bad, just that Matt seemed to really enjoy building up valve clusters that looks as good, if not better than, something you’d find in a factory.

It was made by Norm Epley I think.

Norm was my second guess. I love his stuff. Super cool tuba.
