Hello ,
I am looking for some advice on an older tuba I have, this tuba was made in 1909 in Leipzig Germany at the Robert Schopper instrument company, it has some other inscriptions as well the I can't quite read .
My questions are , are these vintage pcs more valuable restored or are they more valuable left in an unrestored condition ? I am looking to sell it and was hoping to talk to someone with some knowledge of these older instruments from this time period.
My email address is jcookps@gmail.com and if I get any response to my questions I can send some pictures thru my email address or if it's an option I can send them on this forum if it is allowed and there is a way to send them.
Thank you ,
Jack

You might be able to take pics of the tuba and upload to imgur or Google photos and link it here?
Seeing pics of the tuba and its specs (bell diameter, # of valves, what key it's in, etc.) all help.
