No apologies needed. If that was THE York, then what the H was I doing there without my camera?

Of course, I need those Harry Potter glasses, too.

I based my comment on the apparent excellent condition of the instrument and also on what I understood to be his policy of not traveling with the York.

As to the resonance of the instrument, it seems to me from my limited perspective the missing link in so many copies of the York. It is perhaps THE quality I miss when I play big BBb tubas--the quality that my Holton has in abundance. I've played two actual Yorks, though both were conversions from BBb, and both also had that characteristic.
