This strikes me as something @humBell would be interested in.

Beautiful!
Get some tarnx and polish on that and
BTW, I think the patterns are stamped down the length of the bell and all, not engraved. At least that's what Vince told me to at the tuba museum. I forget if Distin came before Keefer or vice versa, but one bought out the other or something like that. Either way, not many like this out there, and I second the nomination for Rob.

So noted.
Not sure i will end up with it, as there is one or two things in should be doing instead (or at least before), but we'll see.
Yeah, i see the stamped ferrules, and they please me. Something about simple pleasures for simple people.
Anyway, i won't be heart broken if one of you all beat me to it.

I love both of those manufacturers. The keefer had some of the coolest finger buttons I’ve seen.

Distin --> Keefer
