Always feel weird pointing out Ebs for a number of reasons, but i like 'em, so, i guess there's that.

That has to be the cleanest 3 valve Eb I've ever seen!

The advert says it’s an Eb but my eyes say it might be something else … there’s a lot of tubing there for an Eb.

It's smaller than you think it is. This Pan American tuba would eventually become the Conn 14J "Director" model.

Also, the 2nd valve is your clue to this being an Eb.

Thanks. I checked out the Conn and it looks just the same.

By comparison, this is on goodwill:

And i responded to the ad, and was immediiately recognized by the seller. So perhaps i shouldn't comment on the instrument...

I will vouch for the seller, and their taste in instruments being superior to mine, though knowing full well it won't make up for lack of Eb demand out there...
