BELIEVE ME, when I tell you that I have tried EVERYTHING to keep pistons moving. Keeping my mouth clean, using proper valve oil, keeping the pistons and cylinders clean. It just SHOULD NOT be that hard.

I am SO tired of piston valves. JEEZ!

I think the original was swung, and played on a contrabass kazoo! Oh, and don't forget the flutter tongue!

I have been playing chamber music now for over 50 years. Coaching and directing the Brass Chamber Music Workshop (https://www.humboldt.edu/brass-chamber-music-workshop) since 1982, I have some definite (albeit highly opinionated) thoughts about tuba gear in chamber music. So, without further ado ...

No, it was more like a 'WIDE' 186, Alex 163.

A Yamaha YCB-661. Anyone out there have one you'd like to move?

I have 2 also!!

"Variations and Fugue" by V. Giannini

I tried to make an offer, and the Reverb site blocked me.

Can you say, "OVERPRICED?"

Sorry, no.... Sadly...

Applications for the Brass Workshop are now open:

When I got the San Jose Symphony job, I played MOST of the excerpts on a 184.....

Anyone have a good, clean part for Elgar's Enigma? For rent, sale, or borrow? Email me. Thanks!
