I own a 4-valve Weltklang E-flat tuba. Apparently, the London school authority used to buy them, at it is marked on the leadpipe. Two music shop owners I talked to in London do not think much of the company. A third wrote in a newsletter that some of their instruments were made for Rudall Carte, once a subsidiary of Boosey & Hawkes. This information may not agree exactly with the information in earlier postings in the archives, unless Boosey also acquired B & S. Anyway, Boosey & Hawkes could find repair parts, I think. Please let me know, because I may need some in the future. I wouldn't mind getting a set of felts now. The instrument I bought plays well in the mid and upper registers.
