![]() I asked a similar question of Peter Hirsbrunner a while back, and he explained it to me in a very helpful email. My 2P, "251076," was the 76th instrument made in 2005, and it was made in October, so if production was fairly consistent with that three years earlier and was spread fairly evenly through the year they would obviously get well beyond #4 by May.Īt least this shows you the pattern. I don't believe they would have been making the fourth instrument of the year in May, so that's one reason I think this number came from the valveset, which also has its own serial number. ![]() ![]() If this were that number, then the tuba would have been made in 2002 ("22"), in May ("5"), and was the fourth instrument made that year ("4"). There should be a number on the bell throat, possibly six digits, near the model number. That looks like the number from the valveset. It also has a "USN" (US Navy) engraving on the bell. Its serial number is 2254, and it appears to be somewhat young (probably 10-14 years old). Both were standard yellow-brass models (gauges 0.80 E2, 0.60 E3).The E2 seemed closer to the Miraphone 5050.

Ive tried the Adams E2 and E3, and of the two I find the E3 plays more like my Hirsbrunner euphonium.
