Hi All,

There was only ever one type of prototype F tuba made.
These were all cut down 983 EEb tubas,
with the new 17 inch bell and 17.5mm or .689" bore.
The only problem with these tubas was that they play out of tune.
It's harder than Besson thought to cut down an EEb to an F tuba.
The other listings have measured incorrectly.
