I use a simple moving dolly I bought from Harbor Freight for 12 bucks. It’s a simple wood rectangle with carpeting on each end and pretty sturdy casters. Right now I use a ratchet strap to hold it in place but I may come up with something more elegant. No handle, but a handle kit is available from ...

Why not keep the padded bag and use one of these https://a.co/d/6cImQEn ? I used one to move my bell front Mirafone 186 and my Cerveny 601. Once I get into another group I may use it on my Eastman with a gig bag. I like the fact I can pad the bottom and have the bell up. The body is protected by a m...

How about a cigar box guitar?

Amazon has kits and pre made guitars

I am very happy with mine.

They seem to be back up. Based on the amount of time for the outage it seems more likely it was a rollout of some sort that was rolled back. Enterprise technology is quite complex at this level. Chances are they will not release the reason for the outage due to security concerns. Meta will not anyon...

I love mine. It sets with my tuba in a corner.

I saw this on Facebook. I am not the seller nor do I have anything to do with the listing. It is on my feed. Hope this helps.

yes...You're are considerably taller than I am. no...I can't tell s--t from looking at a picture. no...I can't experience playing that tuba from your perspective... OK...(and I may well be wrong)... It almost looks as thought (were the instrument held at LESS of an angle than in the picture) that t...

I found this company https://www.hsm-brass.de/tuben.html - last one listed. If you download their pdf they list the following: German Tornistertuba in B • 4 – ventilige Zylindermaschine • konische Bohrung 15 – 16 mm • Druckwerk mit Kreuzgelenk / Unibal • Schallstückdurchmesser 25 cm • Mundrohr und S...

I bought a demo horn from Dillon Music. It is my Eastman and it plays great and I got it for a few thousand less than new. I guess it depends on the store. I have a lot of faith in Dillon Music and Matt checking them.

I would like to see if maybe a community band with multiple tuba players would perform and a discussion about playing locally if you are not in a music program (major).

I would also like to see less fees to just meet and see the vendors.

Something like this https://www.gear4music.com/us/en/Drums- ... music/3434

I have seen drum kits with the cowbell mounted to a stand and hit with a drum stick. Maybe see if the percussion group has a stand for it?

For a musical organization, they sure are tone deaf to their actual membership. Although, the inner circle is surely thrilled. The one this year was in my area. However, with all the costs, and looking at membership it was too much. I don't feel it is worth it to me. The organization seems to not v...

The first tuba I owned was a Conn 20J. It was a tank. I had all the dents removed and a new lead pipe put in. Awesome playing tuba with a Helleberg 120 mouthpiece and one bit. It was like playing a howitzer. I think it is great on outdoor gigs. I never played the four valve one but imagine it would ...

Mike Nye instrument repair in Tempe has some tubas for sale if you are local . I saw these when having some work done on my Cerveny. He doesn't have the staff to update these on his website. Give him a call for more info. I have done a lot of business with him over the years and just thought I would...

Sorry for my late reply. It was very nice meeting you Mark and you certainly filled the parking lot with sound from the tuba. My son commented to me on how good you sounded. I am glad you like the tuba and have given it a good home.

Thanks again,
Rodger

When I played bass trombone I had a Bach 50b3 and a Holton TR-181. I enjoyed the versatility with the Holton in switching from G to Gb for my second trigger I loved the sound of the Bach. If I didn't have an elbow injury I would have kept it. However I am very happy playing tuba.

Full disclosure - I have a fitted tux and have performed in it. I live in Arizona and don't like to perform in a tux or suit. I prefer all black for community band. Once I find another band close enough to play in I am going to opt out of tuxes. Too much when playing.

It looks rather tall with Chris playing it. How tall is it?

I just measured it and it is between 38 and 39 inches. My first measurement was incorrect.

Sorry I thought it was closer to your criteria.
