May I assume, that the photo makes your tuba appear longer and slimmer, that it really is?
When you compare it to the Weltklang BBb introduced in an above posting, you might find similarities.
B&S is not the only brass maker, that has used the same body tubing and bell for instruments of various quality levels. The differences being in the ferrules, the use of nickel silver, and in the valve transmission mechanics.
You can access the Weltklang .pdf file through the link below.
I just saw your reply to the mentioned above posting of mine. My reply stays here.
