In 1939 they had one BBb "Monster" bass listed in their catalog as the model 726. This was a three valve top action tuba with a detachable recording bell. It was 51 5/8" tall, with a 26" bell and weighed 30.5 lbs. They also had a standard size recording bass with top action valves and a 4 valve front action 4/4 BBb tuba. I have seen at least one BBb York that looks similar to the Chicago Yorks, but it had a recording bell.
