And they don't taste as good.

Getting back to the original topic, doesn't the educational system teach us that 60% or 70% is "passing"? If 60% or so of the required information is included on those rental pieces of paper, doesn't that "pass"?

I've done about 80% of a tuba repair - as documented in the most recent thread I've generated in the repair forum. I guess I should take it off to the church that's buying it and ask for my money...(??)

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard perusing TubaForum as when I read this...

Grimableishotz sounds like the nonsensical name of an organ stop, along the lines of aeoline, claribel, dulciana, fugara, nazard, diapason, gedackt, salicional, and ophicleide.

I'd take a photo of a part I got for this cycle that we rented from Luck's, but I'm afraid it'll fall apart if I look at it the wrong way.

Luck's:

I'm playing the bass trombone part to Dvorak 7 this week. There's a semi-exposed passage with the basses that obviously seems to crescendo to the end, but towards the end there were a couple of confusing diminuendos. I looked at the bass part and those confusing diminuendos are actually poorly drawn accents; they were three times as long as properly drawn accent marks.
' too many inconsistencies in the trombone parts to list.

Dvorak:

The bass trombone has a whole bunch of fifths of the tonic chord at the end of the finale - marked very strong and very loud. These are A naturals at the bottom of the bass clef staff in D chords. I'm backing off of those for obvious reasons. There are five basses playing the tonic, and I don't know who else is - maybe the bassoons, but playing that A natural as loud as the other trombones are playing their chord tones would really mess up the presentation of those chords at the end.
