Dear me, he's got a 6/4. That 22.5" bell is for an upright bell! My York measures about the same height-and-bellwise, even though it's been cut to CC. Yorks tend to be rather squat tubas. About the only larger BBb I can think of would be a Martin BBb and a Belgian monster that Jim Newell's got tucked away in his barn--and what Rudi Meinl calls a 6/4 rotary BBb.

Have a look at Tim Jackson's York BBb specs for comparison. It's a biggun.
