Do horns ding themselves?

I knew that global warming and the missing sock in the dryer were somehow related, but I would have never imagined the connection with dents in tubas.

Why? That'll only encourage it.

I'm sorry, though, and I'll add that I think that's happened to me too, from how I had the horn when I wasn't playing it. All the main tubing wrap was leaning out over the bell unsupported.

But they really have to try hard to crease themselves...

I can't believe all the different thoughts about the cause of dents. The answer is so simple. These days, anything that goes wrong can be blamed on the same source--George W. Bush. Now try to remember that, gang! If you have an unexplained ding, it's George W. Bush's fault. If you went to a poker game and lost all your money, that's right, GW's fault. That's how it works.

Actually, in high school there was this girl who got herself pregnant...

Well, that's what everyone said, anyway!

Guns don't dent tubas. People dent tubas.

Maybe it just resented being dedented. Next time, try stunning it first, so it won't be so shocked.

If garden hoses and wires can get knots and tangles in them when at no time did the ends ever cross, I think is possible for horns to dent themselves.
