Hi All,

Interesting thread. Actually Mr. Jacobs did get a 6/4 Holton CC custom made with bell up and bellfront while I was in Chicago. First thing he did was to send it back up to Elkhorn to have the valves replated because his new tuba made specifically for him by Holton had valves that leaked like crazy. Once he got it back from Holton the next thing he did was to sell it to Russ Ward who later played in the Orlando Symphony. I just saw Russ after the National Symphony audition (CONGRATULATIONS Al!!). Russ now plays a 6/4 HB so I am not sure what happened to the Holton in question.

All the best,
David Fedderly
