Early Conn / Fiske  Eb Tuba   c.1891

This is an early Eb Tuba made by C. G. Conn.  From the markings on the bell, and the serial number (20640) the tuba was made in the old Fiske factory in Worcester Massachusetts after it was bought by Conn. It still plays with an authoritative voice . I have left the great patina intact, but it still could be shined up like a new penny!! Inscribed:
