I have something I bought from an ad that said it was a tuba. I trusted them. It's bigger than a breadbox.

I am not quite sure! Some years ago I went to a rehearsal for the Brahms Requiem with my Besson Eb. In a short break a lady from the choir (just standing behind me) asked: "your sheet says "tuba". Is this a tuba what you are playing?" It took me a second to recover breathing but I told her I was playing a bombardon, but she should not mention it to anybody :facepalm2:

It's "baut" spelled sideways.
If it’s tourist season, why can’t we shoot them?

This is far too open-ended and unclear. I need a more specific definition of "have." There are a couple tubas that live with me. But I don't know who has who in the relationship.
