young scholars

"My middle school band students are above average and very mature (as this is an upscale neighborhoods school district), so they need these professional/complicated/fragile instruments, as they are already into Standard of Excellence, Book 3."

"The third valve probably just needs cleaning, so - if possible - we would like this right back, because this young scholar is involved in a competition."

their "fully compensating" barifonium - while in the shop "just being cleaned" (because that's probably all that it needs}...

bloke "They bent the crap out the spaghetti tubing heading into the #3 casing, so - to repair the casing (without doing it the 'back-of-the-guitar-store/that's-the-end-of-that-horn' way), all this mess had to come off:"

Am I pissed off that I had to take 1/3rd of the horn apart to repair the #3 casing, when I though that all that needed was a chem-clean gig ?
- yup.

Am I glad that it was a JP euphonium (well put together), and that I'm fast and don't goof up too often ?
- yup
