I *think* she used one of the Hirsbrunner F tubas. I studied with her for a year a few years back. At that point in time her primary instrument was a Meinl-Weston Model 23 Five valve CC tuba. It was basically a CC version of the Model 25. Because of those experiences with her I have a very strong soft spot for the older Meinl Weston designs. Very distinctive sound and extremely capable in her hands.
Not exactly the information you were looking for.. but you jogged a fond memory.
cheers!
