“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!”

maybe so...

So far, we have the cleaning authorization certificate for those, but not (yet) the rebuilding authorization certificate. (That one is pending.)
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 !!!!!

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.

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.
