Concerning the brass that York used, I heard a story that when brass sheets came into the factory, Pop Johnson would suspend them and tap them with a mallet.
He decided which instrument a sheet of brass would be used for by the sound. I don't know if he was as successful with other instruments as he was with tubas.
