    1900 Conn Eb tuba

    Hi Tuba folks,

    I've been offered a 1900's era Conn Eb tuba with four upright valves. It appears from pix to be a regular size Eb rather than a Monster. If needed, a valve job will be factored into the price, so that's not a big concern. What I'm more interested in is whether anyone has played one of these and can describe intonation, tone, etc. I love vintage instruments, but don't want to wrestle with poor intonation, bad tone or a stuffy low register.

    thanks,
    royjohn

    Stuffy low register shouldn't be too much of a problem and tone should be quite good (of course depending what type of tone you like).
    Intonation will probably be wonky, but that's the way it goes.
