You are indeed correct...from Act 1, Scene 3:
Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
The Skipper got it right...

Good Lord, do my eyes deceive me? Tuba players (with all implied stereotypes) discussing Shakespeare???

How vile doth this cynic rhyme!
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Sure, us tuba players talk about Shakespeare all the time. Gotta love their Ugly Stick line of rods!

I sent in my tuba in yesterday to get a clean and tune-up, and the person working the music store didn't even know it was a tuba....

No! You just need to use your sticks more near the edge of the bell!"

Um ... don't you mean, "You just need to hit that big funnel with that metal thing sticking out of the pipe on the side?"

Hilarious stuff you guys come up with.
The employee is just some hot shot who thinks since he's got "connections" and was a drummer in high school band, he can work at this store. The owners are both music educators, the husband is also a political figure in the area.
My uncle doesn't have a musical bone in his body, and he knew it was a tuba, and some basic stuff about it, instrument and musical.

Tuba? Really? If you stretch waxed paper over the bell and sing into the small pipe, it makes a great kazoo.

Awesome! As soon as the tuba comes back, I will make sure to try that out!

I keep pouring resin down the bell, but all it does is seem to get "harder" to play...
