Some nice playing, however I’m more interested in identifying the F tuba. Any ideas?

4+2
The “B&S” fifth and sixth valve arrangement
Long lead pipe
Valves all spin the same direction
Looks like meinlschmidt valves
Looks a bit large to be an Alexander, but looks fairly Alex-y?




Lol. I went back and read the Description and it’s an Alexander 157g

Anyway, hope you enjoy the video
