In 1974, I bought a used tuba from a music store in Rochester, NY. It is unique, but I haven't been able to find any info about it. It is a small bore, 4 rotary valve cc tuba. It does say that it was made by Romeo Orsi for a Vincenzo Spada in Mew York. It doesn't play very well, although I was wondering about restoring it to playing condition by perhaps replacing the leadpipe. It basically just stands in the corner of my living room as a conversation piece. Can any of you tell me anything about it? I would post a picture of it, but I have no idea how to do that! Thanks!
