Just to let everyone know, I just posted a Henry Diston EEb tuba on e bay. 3 piston valves 13" bell. c.1897. The horn is in somewhat rough condition but doesn't play badly considering its age. I picked it up at an antique shop here in Williamsport for $175 andI hope to make a little money on it. It is very restorable with a little effort. Also, if anyone is inteested in a beautiful Ceveny BBb Kaiser Tuba c.1903 that I am restoring please contact me. I can't believe I actually found this gorgeous sounding horn and I would not dream of selling it unless I could come out of the deal with a quality F Tuba or equivilant in cash. The Cerveny is bare brass, 4 rotary valves, .880" bore and all my collegues like its sound (pre repaired!) better than my 5/4 Rudy. I can't agree with that but thats their opinion!
