POLL - felt tip, india ink, something else, or leave it?
I'm sticking this in the (probably...??) $1XXX "Miraphone"-embossed FatBastard-hauling Jakob Winter case, because there are only two mouthpiece storage holes, and no storage "compartment".
Within it might be a flat-blade a #6 Torx (individual with a nice handle), a slot screwdriver, and a valve oil bottle - refilled with lamp oil...
...oh yeah, and some "sensitive" documents, I suppose.
OK...
...so should I leave it alone, or obliterate the "MiraFone" portion (leaving ONLY the "MiraPHone" insignia showing.
If you're in favor of doctoring it up, what should I use?
It's been a while since we've had a POLL, much less one involving this much controversy, yes?

A frequent contributor recently posted an offering entitled "Less is More." If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Re: POLL - felt tip, india ink, something else, or leave it?
I kind of get not wanting any markings on the bag so I’ve temporarily set aside my if it ain’t broke don’t fix it mind-set. Of course, it is arguably broke because it has marking on it that you really don’t want there and the question is how to get shot of them. If you already have ink or a pen that might permanently cover them then why not give it a try before - if later needed - spending money on anything else. Perhaps I’m a skin-flint, but if a solution is cheap and effective then it scores well with me.

Leave the Miraphone logo alone.
Get a paint pen. On the flip-side scrawl in large, intentionally messy lettering "FAT BASTARD".
Who really needs "kid-safe" tuba accessories, anyway?

You should also have "GET IN MY BELLY!" engraved on the bell of the horn. (Or "C'MERE! I'M GONNA *EAT* YOU!")

I truly appreciate all of the sincere reaching out and concern, as the sincerity of the responses has equaled the sincerity of the original post.
