Tubas:

Reynolds 4-valve Eb sousa, given to me, 2000.
St Petersburg BBb, purchased 2000 from tuba.com (Germany)
Mirafone 1261 compensating Eb, purchased 2000 from Brasswind. Great horn, picked out of a dozen or so, but soon to be sold to help pay for
YFB621, purchased on eBay after being posted here on TubeNet. Expect to keep this one.
Euphs:
YEP201, ~1986-2000.
Mirafone 1258, 2000-2003. Wonderful horn but too good to be played only in a polka band.
Lidl (Czech) 4-valve oval, bought on eBay from Germany. Needed some overhauling, but now is a fine little horn for polka band work.
Trombones:
Reynolds Contempora F-trigger, bought used in 1960. Still have it and play it regularly.
Canadian Brass (Getzen) F-trigger, bought 1996, sold 2000.
