Re: TubaShield®
“Nobody likes it when their ‘check tuba light’ comes on, especially when your tuba is out of warranty. That can mean expensive repair bills. That’s why I have TubaShield.”
“I appreciate the 24/7 gig-side assistance and free towing.”
“My main tuning slide got stuck at a rehearsal and I was playing almost 40 cents sharp. It would have cost me thousands to get it fixed at BlokePlace, but TubaShield got me playing my usual 20 cents flat right there in the rehearsal hall. Thank you TubaShield!”

Re: TubaShield®
maybe so...
...but blokeplace is the only Certified Dealer > officially authorized < to repair Chinese tuba models discontinued in the late 1980s.
Additionally, all of the blokeplace technicians have been Coprion-Trained.
Finally, blokeplace has has been working on a new acoustically -superior and far less airstream-resistant valve called ROTURD® as well as yet another cutting-edge valve system called PISSTON®.

Re: TubaShield®
So far, we have the cleaning authorization certificate for those, but not (yet) the rebuilding authorization certificate. (That one is pending.)arpthark wrote: Thu Jul 16, 2026 7:51 amDo you service Crysteel valves?bloke wrote: Thu Jul 16, 2026 7:46 am maybe so...

However, we can replace that entire system with the similar system made in Vietnam known as "Congstul".
WE ARE VERY EXCITED HERE AT BLOKEPLACE.
THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT !!!!!

Don’t use no foreign sourced parts - all parts locally sourced - from locals tubas!
TubaShield Motto: Gone in 60 Seconds!
Keep an eye, hand or your butt on your tuba at all times.

Re: TubaShield®
Follow the local symphony people after their morning rehearsal (before their afternoon rehearsal) and watch them park in a restaurant parking lot to eat lunch - and hopefully they don't park near any restaurant windows.tofu wrote: Thu Jul 16, 2026 3:03 pm TubaShield - a well known tuba chop shop.

Re: TubaShield®
I use EnduranceEmbochure to cover my stable of horns.
They have outstanding customer service and are very informative, with a detailed assessment unique to my current coverage and potential future tuba needs. Plus, they have a very cute tech.

If it’s tourist season, why can’t we shoot them?
