I called DEG to ask about this horn, and they were unfamiliar with it, but researched it for me and Randy came back with:
<< The WERIL Master BBb Symphonic Tuba model #J951 is not distributed by DEG Music Products for the USA market. I really don't know if it is still in production for any other market.
Here are some specs on this instrument:
-Four Piston Valves
-Bell diameter 447mm
-Bore 17,00 mm
-Clear lacquer or nickel plated >>
I'm in the market for a decent 3/4 BBb for my 12 year old daughter, by the way, but still trying to do it "on the cheap" (we've got a too big Mirafone loaner that's serving our purposes for now; it's just a bit too unwieldy) - not in a big hurry to buy a horn yet, but if you've got something we might be interested in, feel free to email. We're in South Central PA, between York and Baltimore...
