This tuba was previously owned by the United States Air Force ...

Re: I never did an Arnold Jacobs pilgrimage.



I’ve never fully understood the emphasis James often places on the “Jacobs’ longest-studying student” label. Phrases like “sound motivates function” and similar terminology sometimes feel less like practical guidance and more like an attempt to sound profound.

Re: New F tubas vs the Symphonie

Symphonies are great tubas but they aren’t the best tubas out there. Bloke makes some points in his post above. If I were you I’d try as many F tubas as you can and pick from there.
