Meh, too lazy.

And have comprable layout instrument (28", but longer mts) that i know to be eb, so i am confident in my guess.

Vince isn't alone, as others thought it to be a baritone.

Really cool none-the-less, and probably a bit bigger bore and bell than the other (which i got to play at a tuba christmas)
