I have one that is about 10 years old. It is a really nice instrument.

Although not a musician, my uncle has been suffering from it for about a decade now. He was diagnosed in his mid sixties and now resides in a care facility. The last time I visited him, I got him his favorite coffee. He couldn't lift the cup on his own. He has trouble speaking and needs constant ...

Thanks @the elephant

Someone had posted all of the tubing lengths for each valve for each key of tuba a while back. I can't seem to find it. Would someone be able to send me a link to that or post it here? Thanks

Just bought Finale about a year ago to get back into using it.

We got your joke. We liked your joke. In fact, one might say that "Yuh done right good, bwah." He will need to be fed once a day. He prefers Brute Supplement #25. And he will require water. And you must provide him with a sandbox. And you must talk to him. Tell him he is a pretty brute… and a good b ...

Just because I feel the need to derail the topic a bit, thanks for posting the video, Mark. I do enjoy Stas' playing.

I was studying with Floyd when he did the Schumann recording. Good stuff.

There are a couple on eBay right now, but I'd describe them as "only slightly chewed up" condition. I just saw those. I’d be tempted, if they didn’t look like marching band playthings. :facepalm2: I do have a Conn 2. There are some surface scratches on the rim and the very end of the shank is not ro ...

Bumpity bump! I’m still searching for a Conn 2 tuba mouthpiece in comfortable+ condition. Let me know if you have one or know of one for sale. Thanks! I used to have two of them. I think they are way in the back of my basement storage area. I think one was in good shape and the other was not. I'll t ...

Mirafone 188

It’s because they never jumped on the free sammich trend. Customer service is everything.

We see a bunch of this sort of thing posted here. I'm NOT lecturing anyone...I'm not to that point (yet?), and I can't yet properly empathize...so (yup) SOME of these suggestions would well be off-base/misguided/ignorance-based . If four of five pounds of difference actually would make a difference ...

For sale is my Kanstul 202-C 3/4 BBb Convertible Tuba. I am the only owner and bought this from Kanstul sometime in 2019 but don't remember exactly when. Below is a link to the instrument from the Kanstul site and a link to photos. I made the file shareable, so please post on here if you cannot see ...

I have a very short torso, and putting my JP377 on my right thigh puts the mouthpiece at eyebrow level. Putting it on the left puts a lot of stress on my arms. Using a cheap drum throne as a stand is comfortable, fixes the height problem, and takes almost all the weight off my arms. Now if only my ...

“This tuba is the best picked out of a batch of 15. I’m selling because my playing needs have changed.” - My professor endorses this particular 6/4 model tuba that I can no longer justify owning. My performance degree got me a job as a shift manager at a convenience store. I have a kid on the way and ...

The best... CC tuba is a Mirafone 188 BBb tuba is a Mirafone 188 F tuba is a Mirafone 185, 184, 180, or a early 1980's PT-10 6/4 tuba is a Mirafone 188 Nobody can hear the difference between lacquer, unlacquered, or silver-plated Bydlo tuba is a Cerveny 601 CC just because it was my only horn for a ...

I have thyroid disease. One fun side effect is hand pain. That includes while I am not trying to play tuba. Playing the tuba is when I experience the most pain, though. I have found that very small bore, rotary valve tubas help quite a bit. I have had my hands examined—no arthritis or carpal tunnel. ...

I didn't hear enough Ride.
