too much nonsense to explain in a caption

Post by bloke »

This is my digeridoosaphone.
Merry Christmas shopping. 🎄🎅
The gorgeous sounding pre-war King digeridoosaphone is for sale.
Everything is great...good valves/slides/clear of dents/H.N. White vintage
Includes a case and a new Helleberg mouthpiece.
Silver plating is quite worn on the body, the bell exterior silver is good, and the gold wash bell interior is worn.
It will look better, once polished...I'm going to do that in a few days.

This was just an experiment to see if the Hercules sousaphone stand could be used as a PLAYING stand...
Yes, it can.
I'm willing to sell this stand as well for bargain price, if someone also buys the sousaphone.

Yep, and she was even willing to pose in her filthy shop work clothes after buffing some contrabass clarinet keys.

Anyway, for those who couldn't visualize what I was talking about when I said that I suspected that one of those stands could be used as a playing stand, they can now see. All they have to do is adjust the tripod at the bottom for the appropriate height to match up with their own upper body height.

Anyway, I really would like to sell this, even though I would also like to keep it. After I get the surface cleaned up a little bit, I'm going to post it officially for sale.

Same here, after being told my actions were indefensible.

For the sake of those who say and do the indefensible, thank goodness for them that higher education defends the indefensible.
Just be sure and practice fingering your scales.
