I'd love to know where mine is that I traded at Dillon Music in 1999, when I got my 2165 and Yamaha F tuba. I don't recall mine having a lyre holder like this one. In fact I don't remember having ever seen a Kalison with a lyre holder.

Looks like a Miraphone lyre holder (almond-shaped backing plate/flange) was soldered to the bell stack

I don't know why they do, but those things vary from pretty good to amazing.
Any pretty good tuba with a quality 5 valve valveset like that is worth $4,000 in today's worthless money.
