That looks like an old Conn "Grand Orchestra" or some say "Grand Orchestral" BBb tuba.

Though rare and highly sought after by some, they're darned difficult to play in tune without a bunch of alternate fingerings and other manipulations. I'm not sure this would be a good choice for an aspiring student.

A tuba that has the same sort of "fat" sound but a lot easier to play in tune might be one of the newly-redesigned King 2341 4-valve tubas (about $3700 "new" - no case).
