Greetings. I need some help figuring out what kind of tuba this is. Long story short: a neighbor of my parents bought this horn from an antique dealer 3 years ago and was told that it is an old Russian-made tuba. It is pitched in Eb and has a marking kind of like an infinity symbol with an M in the middle. No other markings are on the horn, except for the number 43 on the middle valve. If the correct link works, I have 2 pics of the horn and one hard-to-read scan of a pencil rubbing of the symbol. If the link doesn't work, here is the address for the photos. The horn came with an old York mouthpiece (about bass-trombone shank size) that fits the receiver very well. But I don't think the the tuba is a York.
