tubaphone refers to the tone ring and at first made as an open back then they added a resonator and called it a vegaphone so one is louder than the other

Try this site for a very detailed account of the Vega Tubaphones. http:/bellsouthpwp.net/r/d/rdeveli/newpage4.htm I have a style X #9 short scale with resonator which is removable by undoing one screw at the rear.
