Sorely tempted, as I have a gasless hamster.

Re: 1970S DCI "Pimp My Ride" Kit
Is it possible to decompress the pre-compressed felts?
Do the tone enhancers work on bass and contrabass and altobass and tenorbass tubas? Don't think I need them for my sopranobass tuba

Re: 1970S DCI "Pimp My Ride" Kit
I actually bit, many years ago, on that Acousticoil crap (for the 182 F.) Demanded my money back too and they were just astonished, but did. People would just toss the thing because it was something like $3 but I wasn't going to take that baloney. Now, if they had been offering an accurate way to determine where to drop my mouthpiece on the bell branch to create a node, that would have been worth paying for.

If this doesn't come with a grumpy DCI alum aggressively telling everyone within earshot about how great G bugles are and how nothing after that is real drum corps, it's not authentic.

I mostly play the slidey thing.
