Since I sound like crap, I'm looking to buy some serious dents that affect the sound.

thanks.

Don't forget to buy an extra bag of right notes.

I hear tuba mutes help :)

For a nominal fee (or lunch) plus transportation, I would be glad to come and install said dents, but I will not guarantee my work.

^ Just one time, I want to see an ebay description that says this.

Everybody knows about certain F tubas where "the dent" helps low C intonation. I have another.

On the Besson New Standard 17-inch bell 3-valve comp I used to have, it had a sizable dent in the primary knuckle between the 1st and 2nd valve. Thinking this impeded response, I took the dent out. My fifth partials immediately went flat. so I carefully reintroduced the dent one tap at a time, until I achieved a balance between stuffiness and intonation. Go figure.

My wife claims that I am seriously dents...

One night in the rain, (very early 80's) I was tooling along in my Austin Healey and a Datsun 510 guy turned in front of me BAM t-boned him...my head broke the windshield pillar. I have no idea the effect of that serious dent on the sound when I play though, as I hadn't yet resumed playing (since high school) till a year or two later. But it does explain a lot of other things.

I once asked a eBay seller (selling a tuba so badly smashed that one of the bows was paper thin) if the dents affected the sound.

He of course said that the dents did not affect the sound.
