I learned to play on one of these! In many ways they're a lot better than later models. They were the model before the Sovereigns, but it must be older than 20? The first Sovereign was about 1978-80, and was in my opinion the best BBb B+H ever made.looks like this was one of the last Imperials, therefore a beauty! Cut off the ball, Lower the leadpipe, shorten the first valve slide by about 25-30mm and it will be a great tuba!
