Joe, if I ever get to play your tubas, I will ONLY remark about the intonation.
...then just play the rotary one
Up here in Wobegon, all of our tubas are above average.
OK...but I can't buy into the "all the men are good-looking" one...

Over forty years ago, three good friends (all still good friends to this day) played the simple poker game of "chicken" (until LATE at night) using ONLY "Risk" (board game) cards.
"Mongolia" was - sort-of - the equivalent of the "Old Maid".
("Chicken" is where you are dealt only ONE card, you do NOT look at it, you place it on your forehead - face out, and bet that your card is more valuable than others'.)
I must have belonged to an uninspired group, because we just called that game “forehead”…….

After I play a tuba which belongs to you, more often than not I end up writing a check.
The intonation of my checks is impeccable.

Yes, their "frequency" is so pure that they are said to vibrate...even bounce !!!

That wasn't one of my personal instruments. It was "parts - needed for better uses - someone soldered together to resemble a tuba".
