The suspense!
So the forum member is coming back to live with you?
Having a tenant to help offset costs while Mark saves up for a handmade Gronitz kaisertuba -- smart!

I've read that - around Mozart's time - when trombones were rarely invited in to play (such as his Requiem, that I'll be playing in a couple of weeks), those were C trombones (yes or no, trombone players/historians?)
Not always, but they were around. If I remember right, the French got the British on their C tenors and G basses, and the Brits quickly dropped the C tenors (resulting in their unique Bb tenor/G bass tradition).

My actual guess is that he is picking up a tuba from the city where the proper cheerleaders chant:
We don't smoke

5v Marzan BBb got scooped up a little while ago on FB. That's my bet.

Congratulations!
It looks so smooth and clean without any bow guards or a keel, and with the stylish S links!

With the 3rd and 4th tubing hiding in the back, that picture from the front looks nice and clean.
@LeMark I’m glad you got something that makes you happy.
Could you tell us how things went getting it on the plane and all that jazz?
