Hello all, Been lurking for a few days and figured I'd introduce myself: I go by the alias FunkyTuba... my name's Steven.
I played sousaphone and tuba back in high school and college and recently (after about a 15 year hiatus) started playing again: tuba in brass choir and bass trombone for jazz.
New around here... hi!

Hi Kiltietuba!
My equipment is nothing special ( I think
)
Brass instruments in order of acquisition:
King Sousaphone from 1930s.
(Plays nice but it ain't a pretty horn--lots of re-soldering and some bad spots on the lacquer)
King Baritone from the 1930s (update, I think it's a model 1167 http://www.hnwhite.com/King/Euphoniums% ... 0Large.jpg" target="_blank )
(single bell, curved forward, awkward configuration with valves on top, in much better general condition than the sousa)
Jupiter JBL-378 3/4 tuba
(bi-weekly church brass main horn)
Jupiter JSL-438 pea shooter trombone
(my daughter's main until she feels ready to move up)
Bach 42B tenor bone
(Semi-permanently borrowed, was using it with a 1G mouthpiece as a makeshift bass bone for jazz until I recently got...)
Yamaha YBL-322 Bass trombone
(will probably become my main for jazz)
Mouthpieces: a bunch... somehow I ended up with at least two mouthpieces per horn... I need to gather them all and catalog them
