Beelzebub is one of my favorites. The solo, that is.

LOL...

I was looking through youtube videos to find crap to delete.

I found this (which seems like a good "delete" candidate), but it made me laugh, so it stays.

This is the 5th valve (FF semitone circuit) for this B-flat tuba before being mounted on the instrument.

I had some Jinbao 19mm bore rotors, and decided to NOT spend the dough on a Meinlschmidt...so I picked the best one that I had, and "worked" the rotor body up higher into the casing until I had more (a good bit of) contact area between the rotor body air seal surface and the casing.
