My Yamaha 621 F tuba is #100072. They start at 100000, so that's a pretty low number. Someone around here, however had one that was in the 20's.

A lot of the hand-built tuba shops never serialized their instruments except on request from an importer. Miraphone is an exception, but I think Rudy Meinls and Alexanders are not serialized unless the importer did it. My York Master's serial number is huge, and clearly not related to anything at all that we can determine now.
