Yes, my situation is complex, and it's basically like what I wrote above. It's complex, because it has a real part and an imaginary part.

I won't be doing any CCartesian playing. Instead I'll be "plane" in the Argand band.

Math jokes truly are the worst, especially with complex numbers. I'm sorry that I modulus'n to all of this.

I don't know, at the moment she is with the Berliner Tuba for restoration.
The tuba I brought there was good playing, but had to much dents, the old B&S uniball system and scratches in the laquer. Also there was some laquer missing.

so in a couple of weeks (I hope) I have a tuba that is more than a gem (and mine)

ps the tuba in question is a B&S Symphonie F
