Bump!

I've added an R cup and shank, and an L cup with three different sized shanks. Combined with the 130 rim, you'd have a deep cup, a shallow cup, and shanks to fit several different instruments...

UPDATE 9/13/2026: I've added several additional parts, enough to make a complete "L" or "R" setup with a screw rim.

Bump again. Still looking!

Awhile ago I picked up an old Couesnon baritone with a 9.75" diameter bell. I thought the bell would make a good donor for a contrabass trombone/cimbasso project, but when I received it and played it, I was astounded. It had by far the best intonation of any baritone I've ever played, a lovely sound ...

This instrument is no longer available.

It sat long enough without selling that I ended up using the valves and some of the inner branches for another project.

I'm looking for a Doug Elliott (TU) R cup. I had one but foolishly sold it.

Please let me know if you have one you'd part with: funkhoss@gmail.com. Thanks!

Bump. Still looking!

I cleaned out my parts stockpile today, setting aside instrument carcasses and other bits and pieces that I'll never use to go to scrap. However, in the process I identified five items that I don't need but that are too nice or useful to just scrap.

$50 seems about right to me for any one of these ...

Bump! Price has been reduced from $850 to $550 shipped.

You won't find a better playing baritone at that price!

I found an N shank; now all I need is a cup!

I didn't have any luck with the first DE part I was looking for, so let's try something else.

Anyone have an N cup and shank that they'd sell me?

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. It sounds like a 10J might be worth trying.

If I get one and end up liking it, one modification possibility could be to find a three-valve compensating E-flat B&H/Besson for cheap, lengthen the valve circuits to B-flat length, and swap the valves onto the 10J. The ...

Let me clarify: I'm not at all "uncomfortable" playing an E-flat tuba. I played only E-flat tuba for many years, and did so pretty successfully.

There's also an economic angle to this question: I can buy a Conn 10J for much less money than I could any compensating E-flat tuba. Given that I don't ...

I'll start with my two main questions, and then give the backstory behind them for those who care to read it. For those who don't, please feel free to just answer the questions. :smilie8:
Does a Conn 10J have usable false tones? Is it possible to play the occasional low E-flat, D or C with a decent ...

The subject line says it all. Please let me know if you've got one that you'd sell: funkhoss@gmail.com.

Thanks!

I'm looking for a detachable forward-facing bell (12" diameter) from a Besson euphonium.

Please let me know if you've got one you'd sell: funkhoss@gmail.com. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply!

For reasons that I'm not going to take the time to explain, it needs to be either an Olds or a Bach. I'm not interested in any other models of marching baritone. This is for a very specific franken-horn project.

EDIT 2/2/26: Found one. Thanks!

I'm looking for a complete valve block with tuning slides from an Olds or Bach marching baritone (.560" bore). I'd also consider a complete parts instrument (say, one with a crushed bell) if the price is right.

I'm hoping ...

I initially listed just the two DE tuba parts that I have for sale, but I decided to list a bunch of other stuff, too, in case there's interest on this board.

It's time for me to clear out some of the Doug Elliott parts that I'm not using.
