Do other tuba makers put out such pretty propaganda reels?

To be honest I wouldn't mind if the others did too. Get to see some clips of how their tubas are made and how they sound. :drool:
Plus, if I had more money I'd definitely would love to own one of Miraphone's models. So win-win in my book :teeth:

I don’t know if they are still active, but Melton/Meinl-Weston used to sponsor the Melton Tuba Quartet. I know they issued at least one CD because I have it.

I understand being triggered by the word "propaganda", because so many who utilize it are nefarious, but the word only has a negative connotation due to that, and not a negative formal meaning.

The root word - I'm thinking - is "propagate", which means to breed. Propaganda/advertising/events/etc. breeds more awareness, attention, and - hopefully - more customers (or - in the case of some propaganda - more fools).

I know that you know all this, but I try really hard to accept words for what they actually mean, because it's really easy to see words, be distracted by them, and subsequently not even read sentences, paragraphs, articles, or even longer written communications for what they actually mean - again: when we are distracted by the tone/connotations of individual words. I discussed this in the thread about how so many on Facebook seem to notice individual words, rather than even sentences (much less paragraphs).
