At the risk of (rudely) me-too-ing...(hopefully, interpreted as "sharing")...

Here's my similar thingie...I'm thinking I did this back in the 1990's...

This E-flat York was originally a 3-valve (front-action).
I had a couple of small-bore (same bore) York ...

As a Christmas present for myself I finally had a 5th installed on my G&P CC Tuba. The rotor is Voigt, it works very nicely and I wonder how I didn't do it before.

I have a Soundline for my E.A.Fischer small CC since 4 years and it is still as good as new. And I even use it to carry the tuba on my rowing boat when playing in the band of the village across the lake. I don't think it can float though, better not to try..

I can just confirm that Amborg was an italian maker; the factory was located about 5 miles from where I live, and they used to make a line of instruments commonly used in the "italian style" band ( the whole range of flicorni from the small Eb flicornino down to the basso) and if I remember right ...

I was the one who brought it on the east side of the pond some years ago. A very fine instrument.

I am selling the following rather rare mouthpieces:

1) Conn 1 : perfect conditions, just some insertion marks. U.S.$ 180 - Euro 180

2) Conn 2 : great conditions, U.S. $ 80,00 - Euro 80,00

3) Stofer "Air Corps" Gold plated - perfect, just some insertion marks, used a few hours. In his ...

I'm curious why a Melton instrument was hanging around the G+P factory.


G&P still has the tooling and drawings of the late Kalison Milano, and their bells and bodies were Melton. Also the valve set is made in Deutschland. The Kalison DS had a wider bell flare, while this was an experiment ...

yes, it's based on the DS design, just a narrower bell ( 42 cm). Melton body and bell. I will be probably adding a 5th rotor, 1 step, but not sure yet

...and here the finished result.

IMG-20221010-WA0020.jpg After a lot of pondering and browsing through new and old tubas for sale all over the World, and after having considered various projects of restoration/assembling of old parts, I ended up having one made for me from existing new parts. I was looking for a very "standard ...

It's raw brass, only the cup is silver plated. I bought it that way from Dillon many years ago and left it in that unusual finishing..

Mouthpieces located in Como, Italy. I can ship anywhere by DHL and provide previously the best quote.

I had a chance to visit the Lidl factory about 5-6 years ago, when it was still located in downtown Brno, and tried out a few tubas. I second Tofu's opinion on them, very well made instruments, and I regret not having bought one, at least as an investment. Every once in a while those older models ...

I think that not only keeping the instrument out of the case helps to practice more: even the size of the horn is a factor. I notice that it's much easier to practice at home with my small 3/4 CC than with the 6/4. I need less room, can lift it and spin it much more easily and it's less prone to ...

Never seen such 3 + 2 configuration.. : https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anz ... 50-74-3813
