one of the most beautiful orchestral tuba excerpts of all time...

Here's your tuba on the first day I got it out of the box from the person from whom I bought it:
- epic dents
- dirt / cobwebs in the bell
- a football-shaped (and nearly football-sized) flat area on the bottom
- terrible old worn rotor bumpers / loose screws
- stuck slides
It went from the box > to the back seat > to the rehearsal.
This piece/rehearsal represented the first sounds I made on it.
also: Please note my beautiful phrasing (thanks to studying Bordogni bel canto etudes, etc.)

...and yes, sometimes I do re-depress valves on repeated notes...It works better than foot-tapping, and - unlike foot-tapping - it doesn't annoy colleagues.
