York Tuba Serial Numbers

It is perfect for a tuba quartet, where a distinct voice is needed, and it was my mainstay when I played in the TubaMeisters. This horn was the road demonstrator for the Yamaha reps in the first year of production, and this instrument's serial number indicates it's the 72nd horn of its kind.

The York Band Instrument Company was a musical instrument manufacturer in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

History[edit]

James Warren York was a former army musician and played professionally in the Grand Rapids, Michigan theaters. He eventually decided to open his own instrument repair business and set up on the ground floor of a Monroe Avenue building in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1882. The early company originally started from a merger of two partnerships between 'Smith and York' in 1883 and 'York and Holton' in 1885. Together they were eventually reformed into the 'J.W.York and Company'. In 1887, to recognize the birth of his son Charles E. York, the business became 'York & Son'. In 1898, the birth of his second son, Frank W. York, prompted him to again rename the business 'York & Sons'. The business went through various name changes ('J.W. York', 'J.W. York and Sons', 'J.W. York Band Instrument Co', 'J.W. York Instrument Co.') before finally settling on 'York Band Instrument Co'.

By 1890, York was operating a successful instrument plant on Canal St. by importing instruments and producing a few original cornets and trombones. Newly designed instruments were added each year and in 1898, the company was manufacturing a complete line of cupped mouthpiece brass instruments. Frank Holton, Henry Martin Jr., Henry Martin Sr., and F.A. Reynolds, pioneers of band instrument manufacturing, were all once employed at the early York factories at 3,5, and 7 North Ionia Avenue in Grand Rapids. The factories were later relocated to the old Raniville Power building at the corner of Campau Ave and Lyon St. In 1908, a plant at 1600 South Division Avenue was built and lasted until it was closed in 1971.

In 1913, rights were sold to original partners James and John Duffy and a stock company was formed. The company was officially changed to York Band Instrument Company in 1926 when the York family relinquished all control, although the 'York Band Instrument Company' name was used in promotional publications starting in the early 1920s. The company had various subsidiaries and used the proprietary name 'Grand Rapids Band Instrument Company' and 'USA Line' for their mass-produced and lower priced student quality horns. Additionally, York produced various stencil horns under the names of 'Hallmark', 'Acme', 'Wolverine', and 'Pioneer'.

The 'York' Sound[edit]

The York Band Instrument Co manufactured a full line of woodwind, string, percussion, and brass instruments which included trumpets, cornets, horns, trombones, helicons, baritone horns, sousaphones, and tubas. The brass instruments made before 1940 were known to have superior craftsmanship, ease of enunciation, intonation, and timbre, and were widely sought after by concert, brass, and military bands. The United States Army's Quarter Master Corps and the United States Navy historically used York instruments and still maintain them in their possession.

Two legendary York CC tubas were originally commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra in the 1930s. The tubas were later sold to Arnold Jacobs and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at different times and used by subsequent tubists in their orchestra. These tubas have become the arch-prototypes for as many as six modern tuba designs because of their excellent intonation, tone, timbre, and craftsmanship. These tubas are also the basis for the legendary 'York tuba sound' that many tubists try to emulate.

After experiencing unparalleled growth through innovation in much of the early 20th century, the York company fell victim to the Great Depression of the 1930s and was purchased by Carl Fischer for $300,000 in December 1940. This purchase relegated York Band Instruments to being a subsidiary of Carl Fischer. During World War II the company switched to the manufacturing of munitions. After the war, York produced student instruments at the Grand Rapids factories. The name York sometimes became a stamp on stencil horns from other manufacturers as Carl Fischer's ownership outsourced work. Higher quality instruments were transferred to the West German company Boehm Meinl as the 'York Master' line.

By 1964 the York company was out of business. In 1970, Carl Fischer sold the York brand to the New York-based Tolchin Instruments, Incorporated. Tolchin Instruments closed the original Grand Rapids factory in 1971. After years of mismanagement Tolchin accumulated an unmanageable $24 million debt. The York brand was eventually sold to Boosey & Hawkes in 1976.

York Saxophone Serial Numbers

Welcome to the Vincent and Ethel Simonetti Historic Tuba Collection web site. 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.

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 majority of the Collection was acquired during my twenty-seven year ownership of The Tuba Exchange, which I founded in 1984. Ethel and I sold The Tuba Exchange to its current owners in 2011, but we have retained ownership of the Collection with the idea of developing it further and to make it more accessible to the public.

We invite all of you to learn more about the various members of the tuba family, by visiting our unique Historic Tuba Collection in Durham, and by looking through this web site – both of which we hope will be helpful to you as you further expand your knowledge about the instruments that we love.
