No matter how good of a job I do, it's never going to look any better.

Looks like a pretty good job to me

Doesn't even need a new clear coat!

There's a person on social media who posts videos of their brass repairs. I have to click away, because most of them hurt my brain.

That's as much as you needed to say.

That's the most beautiful tuba I have ever seen.

I agree, guys. This is the way to go.

I'm considering selling it, but right now I'm just testing the waters. I'm not sure if anyone here is deserving of owning it, other than myself. If I come across a truly inspiring musician who manages to convince me that they can enlighten the world with this tuba, I might possibly allow them to own it, but not if they are a low baller.

I am a Jerome performing artiste. Would you consider selling it to me?

Only the C version, because anyone who plays the B-flat version can't possibly be an artiste.
