The French generally made their ophicleides entirely of brass, but copper instruments were popular in America and Britain. So, it is likely that Prentiss specified that they be made of copper.

Engraved: Imperial Whaley-Royce Limited Makers Toronto surrounded by an 8 Maple Leaf wreath and numbers "7", "38" and "Regt. This refers to the 38 Brant Battalion, No. 7 Company, Infantry, (Drumbo, Ontario).
"The Dufferin Rifles.- By General Order of 28th September, 1866, the Commander-in-Chief of the Forces- the Right Honourable Charles Stanley, Viscount Monck- was pleased to authorize the formation of the 38th Brant Battalion of Infantry, with headquarters at Brantford, and composed of the following independent companies, and numbered as follows: # in Batt. Gazetted Company Designation Co. HQ. Captain 1 June 26th, 1856 Rifle Company Paris Andw H. Baird 2 Dec. 13th, 1861 No. 1 Rifle Company Brantford David Curtis 3 July 3rd, 1862 No. 2 Rifle Company Brantford John J. Inglis (Highland) 4 Jan. 30th, 1863 Infantry Company Mt. Pleasant Crossley Heaton 5 June 1st, 1866 Infantry Company Brantford Henry Lemmon 6 Aug. 17th, 1866 Infantry Company Burford Edmund Yeigh 7 June 30th, 1863 Infantry Company Drumbo John Laidlaw."
On January 5th, 1971, The Mount Pleasant Company was removed from the list of the Volunteer Militia, and the remaining companies of the regiment were renumbered as follows: No. 1 company, Paris; No. 2 Company, Brantford; No. 3 Company, Brantford; No. 4 Company, Brantford; No. 5 Company, Burford; No. 6 Company, Drumbo. No other 7th company was raised.
Therefore the 1871 date would precede by 17 years the date of 1888 when Whaley-Royce was supposed to have opened for business.
Thoughts on how this was possible? |

LEW:
I bought the horn shown in the eBay photos you have linked. I used it at Tuba Christmas this past December. It plays very well, easy blowing with a nice full sound, as you might expect from a euphonium with a 14" bell. I brought it to the US Army band tuba euphonium conference in January and Lee Stofer played it and sounded great. I have since spoken to a couple of other people who said that they have seen others and one who owns another one. I suspect that they were made as marching band baritones, but I still believe that a relatively small number were made and certainly a smaller number are still around in playing condition. |
