I'm familiar with them through Walter Sear also. The only du Prins tubas I saw were stamped Mahillion-du Prins. You might try a search on Mahillion.
I believe that Howard Johnson plays (or played) an Eb Mahillion some. He sounds good on it but then he can also double on bari sax.
I played a six valve Mahillion F tuba in Arnold Jacobs' studio once. If you know bought it please e me.
