The majority of the Collection was acquired during my twenty-seven year ownership of The Tuba Exchange, which I founded in 1984. The Collection began with a beautiful Cerveny helicon dating from circa 1910, which I found in Boston in 1965 while I was playing tuba in the orchestra for the North American tour of the Russian folk ballet troop, the Moyseev Ballet Company. The 300+ instruments in the Collection, currently housed in Durham, North Carolina, represent a cross section of the history and development of the various members of the tuba family, from its inception circa 1830 to the present. Welcome to the Vincent and Ethel Simonetti Historic Tuba Collection web site.

This is a very nice used vintage Couesnon Paris flugelhorn, Serial #81434.

Serial Number: Year Manufactured: Model Introduced: True Tone A fire at the Elkhart, IN Buescher plant in 1903 destroyed all prior records.

Please contact me with any additions and corrections. The following is what I have come up with. I put together all of the relevant information from Dale Olson as mentioned, Alan Rouse of Olds Central, Eric Hamlin of The Olds Register and known catalogs in various collections. I decided that we were overdue for a careful look at all the data that we had.

This included two log books with production or shipping records of the earliest Olds trumpets and cornets. This became more apparent when Dale Olson found out that fellow Olds alumni, Howard Wilson had an archive of photos and information from the factory that he saved when it was being thrown out. These were all honest attempts at adding to our knowledge, but unfortunately my early errors were magnified rather than minimized.
