I am no expert on Mr. Phillips' tuba but I can tell you that it was a Conn CC produced before WWII, probably in the 1920's. Bore was in the .650's.

The Conn 2-3-4&5-J's were all based on this horn but were not copies by any means.

This particular horn was virtually destroyed when it fell from an airplane in the early 90's. Attempts to repair it were moderately successful but it no longer plays as it did when Mr. Phillips was gigging all over the world.
