Just in case I choose to ignore Wade's sage advice, just which governmental department would that be, Dr. Sloan?

Coming soon: heavyweight coils with stainless steel nuts attached. Applied correctly, these will smooth out the airflow, provide that needed bit of resistance, dampen unwanted vibrations, and turn your tuba into a tambourine.

I have heard of similar items being prerequisites for a really strong low range ...

I have talked to the creater of the acousticoil and he told me that it will have negative effects if you use more than one in a horn, even if in different slides

Instead of buying an AcoustiCoil, why not just put a big dent in your horn where the coil would go?

That's bad luck. Cant have that so I ordered another one to use in the lead pipe. According to my numbers, that means they should improve my playing by 70%. Now if I could find my mouthpiece....

Good news: if you can expect an independent improvement of 5% per coil, 14 will give you a 98% improvement!

After a session of TM, I have determined that the optimal number of coils is:

Floor(e/pi)

Remember: pi r round.

Check the properties. It's actually a spinach pie!

It was, thankfully, but the pictures live on!

New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and even many counties of Pennsylvania. Pretty much in every municipality above the Mason-Dixon line.

And here I thought it was the reference to the "hedge-pig" from Macbeth (Act 4, Scene 1)

The second 5% improvement applies not only to the original "playing" but also to the first 5% improvement. So the improvement with two coils would be 10.25%, etc.

This is related to retailers applying a discount either before or after taxes. Either way, you're still paying taxes.

If you do buy one of the coils, just make sure that O.J. doesn't think he really owns it.

At least we have now been reassured of O.J.'s dedication to finding the real criminals out there.
