Can I call the tubas left out in my unheated barn all winter "cryogenically treated"?
And the mouse that hid some grains in a Lyon & Healy body I have -- "organically supplemented"?

There's some visual appeal, to be sure, but it looks like there might be an unappealing tendency to soil the player.
That red patina in the second picture would be interesting if it could be effected more evenly and without the corrosion blooms. It would be interesting to know more about the chemistry of this stuff, why sometimes tubas go red and others go brown.
