How often or rarely do some of the old big York and Holton BBb (like 345) piston tubas come up for sale? I know BBC has a couple of cut Holtons, but are there many of these or the Yorks that survived the CC conversion? Where does one even begin to go to purchase something like this? For those looking for a big BBb sound and are not satisfied with Conn 2xJ, Reynolds, or the pricing of Rudys, Fafners, Wilsons, or Grontiz, what is the likelihood of locating some a York, Holton, or even one of the old Conn Grand Orchestra, one of which I had the pleasure of playing, and aside from intonation quirks, had a great sound.
