I have seen the eBay offering, which of course has my interest as I have a similar instrument. This one is in a better shape than mine, so I have considered buying it. However I am less convinced of the sales circumstances. Especially I would like to know something about its route from the military to private ownership.
The bell collar on the York Master differs from that of at least Conn sousaphones, insofar that the collar is conical. The largest inner diameter of the female collar is close to 170 mm (6.693 inches).
