So excited! Just made arrangements with Lee Stofer to have my Getzen G50/York Bell tuba silver plated.
Along with the plating will come a few more tweaks, valve job (mods already done), and a full break down and reassemble.
This tuba was put together by Joesph Agnew and Bob Rusk and sports a vintage york bell - looks like the 1910ish York logo.
I like the horn enough to go further with the overhaul. When done, I'll have a "like new" York 33 CC - I guess that is what it is.
Even though work won't begin till April and hopefully wrap up in June, I am still EXCITED!
