Now that I found my long lossed Mouth pieces,

Post by Charlie C Chowder »

I pulled out my Eb tubas. One was not playable. It would not slot, or as I like to say, it was squirrelly. My tech found a small camera bag that contained the mouthpiece and valve oil that I used with that tuba stuck inside.

Nobody to blame but myself,

The most common thing to be lodged in a French horn is a small (1 oz.) bottle of valve oil, the second most common thing is a mouthpiece, and the third most is a Chapstick-tube-shaped slide grease.

sousaphones:
everything from an old lunch, to underwear, to pompons, to a dead animal

fwiw…Your spelling of “lossed” is much more logical - as well as easier to read - compared to the preferred one.

Kind of like:
American: burned (except for "Burnt Ends" - yum! - Yeah, I'm a KC BBQ aficionado)
British: burnt (for example, as the brass inset into the floor of Coventry Cathedral, "...this Cathedral burnt....")

And others. For another time.

Losted is still more logicaler.

The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lossed!!

Just think about it:
If one of the Cartwright brothers flattened you, you obviously would not be “host”;
Rather, you would be “hossed”.

My old high school received a new Yamaha "American" baritone. Some of the goobers in the band were throwing around a rubber mouthpiece carrier and it ended up in the horn shank side down. The director, not normally known to be a quiet, reserved man, reached a new personal high for popped veins. I took it home and tried blowing it out with my dad's air compressor; that didn't work so we ended up using a coat hanger. :tuba: Nice horn that seemed a bit bigger than Kings and Conn's, too bad Yamaha didn't release a 4 valve version.
