I have come across what appears to be an older tuba like instrament. It has many dings, dents, scratches etc.  it is bigger than a baritone but seems smaller than a tuba.
all valves work, all slides work I can play a b flat scale that sounds correct.  the instrament has a design on the bell  with Louis B Malecki & Co   Majestic   Chicago ILL engraved on it.  Could anyone tell me anything about the instrament or where I can look for more information?    Thanks
