Here are the before/as-is pictures of an invisible tuba restoration:
(It's a Jerome, by the way.)







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

Needs more videos of you displaying overexaggerated amounts of effort and grunting

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 the most beautiful tuba I have ever seen.

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.
