Does the tuba have an upright bell or a forward facing ("recording") bell?
What is it's overall size: very small, 'average' or really big?
What is the diameter of the bell?
Are the valves upright (top action) or are the front action?
Are there three or four valves?
Do you know what key the tuba is in? likely possibilities are Eb or BBb, although there were some CC tubas.


Can you post a picture of the horn?

This information will give us a starting point to narrow the question down. In some cases we have model numbers as well as names, in other cases we may only have model names based on illustrations in catalogs that don't have corresponding model numbers.
