I'll post all about it when the time comes for it. Blessed that we can avoid shipping, so a little extra time/patience is no concern to me. :tuba:

The main point of my post isn't show and tell, but rather to let everyone know she's gone and no additional sale/trade offers are needed.

Over and out! :cheers:

I forget which tuba was advertised as being in the key of Cb, but it's definitely that one. :tuba:

Eventually, someone will guess correctly. There are only so many combinations of key, size, configuration, and valve type. :tuba:

Only hint is that it's not something I've owned before. Beyond that, I won't post publicly about it until I have it in-hand. :tuba:

Wow! I want one. I've been looking for one since 3 B.C. The military grade ones were made by the great Roman maker, Fartius Odious Blohardtius. They were available only in DDb which is the pitch I am after. Think of the possibilities, guys. These horns will make any band more, uh, interesting.
