In the Cascais area west of Lisbon.

The tuba is in Bb but with an old pitch standard, despite playing and having a beautiful sound, the tuning is low for today's instruments. It's a marching tuba with the receiver in an unusual position. The pistons are good and there are no sticking slides(?). It comes with a very old Quesion 3 mouthpiece and a padded carrying bag/backpack made by me.
It's customary in Portuguese not to write "Couesnon", maybe because of bad feelings lingering after Napoleon - I assume that's what "Quesion" is about.
