I have an opportunity to purchase very inexpensively a Conn BBb tuba,
silverplate, 4 valve, with a serial number that checks out to late 1927.
Does anyone have a comment in general about these
instruments? Do they have any design flaws or defects that would make it
a poor instrument, ie: tuning imperfections, mechanical problems, or other? Please
advise a pro oboe player with an odd interest in this big vintage horn.

Thank you all in advance for any advice.
