That should actually be a CC version of the 103 BBb... Side entry from the short leadpipe, vs top entry from a long leadpipe like on the BBb.

Rough shape... Unfortunate, since it's probably a decent tuba, even with only 4 valves.

The leadpipe entry made me think it was also in CC.

If I were anywhere within driving distance, I would have already bought that.

Thanks, thought it looked a little odd for a BBb, but I thought the slide lengths looked BBb-ish in length. Fixed the title!

I bet you're right. I thought the one in that initial ad on Facebook was an F tuba because of the wrap and it looked like it had a B&S F-style 5th valve. Turns out that's actually the 1st valve.

Makes sense, someone trying to do a quick flip. The tuning slide looks really bad and its missing the cork and water key. I agree its probably a solid tuba but needs like another 1000-1200 dollars of work at least.
