I have an upright tuba, my customer believes it is BBb that was played by the marine band
prior to them getting sousaphones.
description of the horn as follows
Holton silver plated , gold plated inner bell, 4 valve, Richardson Model serial # 72237
enscribed on bell Made by the Holton Company Elkhorn Wi.
The info I have been able to get is the horn was made around 1921 and is in excellent condition. Holton has sent me to other places but no real good info.
my customer wants to sell the horn and we need an Idea on it's true value, if it is what
he thinks it is.
Can anyone help us.
Thanks
