"Kurath" IS "Willson". I would consider it a safe bet that Mr. Kurath is selling his tubas in other countries currently with the name "Kurath" on them. The fellow's name is Willi Kurath, and I believe the formal name of the company is "Willi Kurath & Son" =

= "Will - son" -- the name that D.E.G. has decided to market them under in the U.S.

My point is that a "Kurath" tuba MIGHT NOT be old or an old design.

I WOULD, however, speculate that any of Mr. Kurath's instruments that ALSO bear the name "Perantucci" (not to be confused with B&S instruments) are fairly old and PROBABLY different from current models.

I hope that my information is accurate, and that I did not confuse.
