Fixed recording bells are cool enough, but on a CC tuba...? That's a beauty!

Thank you for showing us that Dale. As a real fan of the York 700 series (600 series for C?), it is really great to have a look at that horn.

Quick, semi off topic question: Does your 692 have the same .750 bore? THe catalogs listed the 692 as a "medium" bore I seem to remember.

Yes both horns are 3/4"bore

@dp, thanks for the post and the story!

I guess my early run 2165 is a bit of a descendant from your 345. Personally, I like mine similar to how you feel about your 345.

Always interesting to see and hear about these curiosities of the evolution of the instrument.

Recording bell tubas are completely out of vogue…which is why I own two of them, and have one more in queue as a project instrument for myself.

I remember one (maybe the same one?) being up for sale on eBay a number of years back. The FIXED recording bell put me off at the time, which in hindsight was a bad reason not to bid on it…..

(I could have easily made it into a detachable recording/upright bell horn)
