post is now fleshed out...
thanx for patience.
I did a whole BUNCH of the typical types of repairs to this instrument, PLUS lengthening/shortening various circuits as acoustically called for.
It now plays in-tune better than many fancy-schmancy "professional" E-flat tubas. I'd LOVE to own this particular 28K...

Bloke fix 'n' mod 28K from 1943
In the third pic I was highlighting my love of natural brass wear under silver finish {false branch from an ancient Blessing? bugle]
The horn is very sturdy, seems a bit more beef in the bass tone compared to my beloved 26K '52 (also modded by Bloke. Wait till you see that...)
I'm 9 gigs into the 28K and loving it.
Act now to secure your visit to BlokePlace Resort ... More value than you can imagine!
