Happy Tuba Tuesday

This Tuba Tuesday the Museum features one of its more unique instruments: a rotary valve euphonium (another name used by orchestral composers for euphonium is “Tenor Tuba”) made by the German maker Alexander, circa 1950. If the memory is correct, the Museum purchased this instrument during the 1990s from Michael Moore, Principal Tuba with the Atlanta Symphony, who told the Museum his father had used it in the Atlanta Symphony to play the famous “Bydlo” solo from Maurice Ravel’s 1922 orchestration of Modest Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition.”

...beautiful condition, and a damn shame that a busy working professional doesn't own that.
Instruments - such as that one (which are still manufactured to this day, and very desirable to potential end users) - were not meant to be hung on sterile walls and leered at.

Thanks for posting.

Maybe it plays like sh!t
