It was refinished in a frosted silver plate, the same finish it sported when new. The valve block assembly and rotor valve assembly were pupplied by sources in Germany. 6 branch, all tuning slides and 5th valve branches, mouth-pipe and receiver, thumb-ring, 5th valve lever and linkage.
In addition to restoring the original body of the horn, roughly 90% of the braces seen were reproduced from scratch as was the No. The instrument was reconfigured to four front-action piston valves, with a thumb opporated rotary fifth valve.
The original configuration of this BBb tuba made in 1914 by J.W.York of Grand Rapids Michigan was with only three ³top-action¹¹ valves. restored by Daniel Oberloh.Ī recently completed project that was a long time in the making. Both instruments required extensive repairs to the valves and considerable dent removal prior to being silver plated with bell interiors plated in 24k Gold.
To the right is a CG.Conn model 30-I that is arguably the best double bell euphonium ever made. To the left is a ''stencile model'' branded American Educator made in the late 1920/ early 30s. Oberloh with two examples at the completion of there beirng restored. Some instruments are just not as common as once may have been the case and the double-bell euphonium falls into that catagory. Sorry for the low quality of this set of pics, Technology has a way of spoiling us. Reproductions of the Crown are currently made in Asia and though they are okay playing horns, they should not be considered at all equal to the German made original. This model is relatively common and is typically a very nice playing tuba with very good build quality. We eventually set to work squaring it away. The owner had no interest in using it and chose to sell it to the shop. When it arrived at the shop, is was a bit rough but in much better shape then most tubas we receive. This one was probably built in the mid to late 1960s and is often labeled Crown Professional, Karl Ziess, L'Rae, Sonora, Gerhard Sneider, Giardinelli and others. What we call a Crown model was made for many years by the brass instrument manufacturer B&S. Seen below is a before and after shot of a BBb tuba Daniel Oberloh restored a while back. Recently we were going thru some images of past projects and stumbled across a few that we found a little interesting so we thought it might be fun to share a few as time allows. and was made of walnut and maple with brass hardware. The instrument was finished in frosted and bright 24k gold plate, its presentation case was built by Robert Read and Daniel O. Oberloh for and on behalf of the membership of the Pacific Northwest British brass band, PugetBrass as a gift to its Conductor, John Falskow. You a good idea of the extent and level of work we are capable of doing.Ĭonstructed from what was once a standard 1930s Conn 80-A cornet, this beautifull "pocket cornet" was designed and created by Daniel C. This page will show a variety of projects that we have completed in the past.
