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.
