Nope. Kanstul makes a travel tuba that fits into a suitcase. If you have Facebook, check out their photos from last year's NAMM show and ITEC. The Aero CC is pictured in a yellow Samsonite suitcase. I was not aware that they had produced a BBb.

Presumably this. You don't need facebook to look at their page.

"I seem to remember reading somewhere that Fletch played on a 24 AW"

You have to remember that this was BEFORE Dennis Wick started making tuba m.p.'s. The 24AW became 'the standard' for those who were playing 'Fletcher-ized' Boosey & Hawkes EEb tubas (19" bell; bigger lead-pipe; the standard "Parker" cut on back branch). John Fletcher also used a Conn 7B Helleberg as well. There wasn't anywhere nearly as much selection and nuance in tuba m.p.'s in the 'pre-computer' days.

That's pretty big for a travel tuba! How much does it weigh?

I have to get out there sometime to bitch and complain to them to make a #*@!ing rotary tuba!
