Sean - Thanks for the service. I love reading this board. I am organizing a youth turn-of-the-century period brass band consisting of (2) Bb cornets, Eb alto horn, Bb tenor horn, Eb bass, and percussion. I am looking for a decent playing Eb tuba from the 1895 - 1910 era. I would prefer a US manufactured horn. I would really like a helicon or upright bass, not a sousaphone. If anyone has something around they are not using and would be willing to sell for a reasonable amount, please let me know. I am also looking for a BBb horn for my 14 yr old son to use at home, in lessons, and in the local community band. The HS he will be attending this fall only provides them with a single horn (although a decent Miraphone 4RV) for use at school which can be taken home on weekends. Thanks for the read. Jim
