I've played an Alexander euphonium for over 30 years. It is a
gold brass, four rotary valve instrument with .630" tubing through
all four valves. When I purchased the instrument, used, in 1969,
the owner told me that it was a tenor tuba. I've never been able
to verify that description, but I did hear that Alexander at one
time made three models, and mine was either the tenor tuba or the
bariton model.

I've posted a picture of my instrument, and would appreciate any
knowledgeable opinions on the model.
