I have a Conn tuba Serial #750404. It is a 3 valve
front action with an upright bell. Abilene TX is
engraved on bell. I cannot find a model number on it
but it looks and measures to be a 12J except that the
bell is 16.5" instead of 18". The serial number dates
between 1958-59 but from the info I have read the
production was still in Elkhart at that time. Can
anyone shed any light on this. Thanks, Wayne
