Found a 4-valve tuba or euphonium new identification help
I am the tuba player for a town band in Vermont USA. I was given an old 4-valve instrument to check out. I play a 3 valve Besson. I have found fingering charts for a 4-valve non compensating tuba that is not working. I found a 4-valve compensating euphonium that seems to work better. Can anyone give me some advice about the instrument I have? It is shorter than my Besson but has a larger bell. The manufacturer is Frank Holton and Co., Elkhorn, Wisconsin. I want to see if this old man can learn to play this old tuba. I have attached a photo. I want to know what I have and which fingering chart is correct. Any help is greatly appreciated.Attachment 6182
