Hello all, I recently have come across an old Conn tuba at a local music shop in my area but I have little/no info on it. The serial is #188051, and all that I can find out is that it was made in about 1921. I nor the music shop knows anything about it, they just had it in the junk pile in the back with the valves disassembled. I assume it's a BBb, but does anyone know of a listing of models and info rather than just date of manufacture? It looks to be in pretty good shape, and I am trying to get an estimate of value or quality. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
