Re: Cool old horn
Sorta reminds me of the horn that @martyneilan bought and converted to pistons long ago.

Re: Cool old horn
The power of google search compels me...
Would this be that to which you are referring? (minus all the adverts, and wistfully with bloke contributions restored tot their inherent glory)

BART is a good name for a tuba.

@humBell Nice work, detective, that's it!!
Looks like the eBay one to me. Or at least, pretty darn close to the unusual shape.

Re: Cool old horn
I would have bought that for that price. It looks like a good candidate for an entertaining restoration. Of course, no new parts would be used, but the valves would probably have to be rebuilt. All of what is seen in the photo is fixable. It looks to be complete, too — but I only glanced at the photos.
