If you're almost right there at that world class sound thing, that could get you over the finish line.

And if there is no "K" sound in French, I guess they double tongue with a "G" sound? Digga digga?

I'll be sure to let you know when Oktoberfest season rolls around and I dust them off for my gigs. Lest Three Valves miss out again, the sousaphone is a 1919 Conn 36k silver with a gold wash bell, and the euphonium is a raw brass 1967 Besson Sovereign.

You have a rundown of your day—so I added that in. If you were on the forums a decade and a half ago, you would remember someone trying to get the Arban book banned because “there is no K sound in French”. Yes, this really did happen. Not sure you use the Arban, and yes I made a digital copy of mine because it was so used both covers have fallen off (random fact, my first ever online purchase),

You gave a rundown of your day as if to get response and cause trouble perhaps? Everything else I mentioned you have very strong beliefs in. Im sure after you finish the bowings in the parts you’re going to scan them and send to the players, right?

I subscribe to the hammer and nail school myself.
