Oh, yeah - in addition to the stuff above, a King 3B trombone, the borrowed HB Jay Eb I still need the correct "flat" valve buttons for before I return it to my college so it will actually play properly and maybe someone will actually use it, King Silvertone cornet, my son's Bach CR300 cornet, Besson 2-20 trumpet waiting for a Pilczuk lead pipe, (the souzy is at another guy's house right now who plays with me in Shrine band - of course he loves it!) my son's cheap stratoid guitar, mouthpieces, sheet music, more parts is parts, etc. - I can't get into the room sometimes!

iiipopes, yes the 354-CE LTD is a maple 12-string. GREAT instrument, the first time Taylor made a 12er in the grand auditorium size.
Now to decide whether I want to sell the 810e . . . solid sitka top (of course), Bone nut & saddle, fishman ellipse blend pickup . . . pink poodle case. In better shape than most new ones out in stores . . . setup is everything!!
Back to tubas, though, I'm trying to find a) the money, and b) which F I want. Just played a Conn 56J CC yesterday- very sweet, and I LOVED the pistons, but I don't want to ditch my Miraphone for it. I would definitely like to find a used piston F. I like the Yamaha 631 (?), but am afraid it might be a little small, even for an F.

In addition to what is listed below, an Olds Recording trombone, an F. Besson/Kanstul XL bore trumpet and a Weril Soprano Trombone. When I had the Yamaha 621, I actually had to move a tuba each time I entered or exited the room. I am now under an edict from she on high. I am supposed to sell a horn before I buy another. I must admit I haven't played the Weril in over a year, but it's in Delta mode; on it's stand, ready when I am.

Are you implying that one of us might be a thief? Oh, me! Oh, my! Whoever you are, pay no attention to any of my posts. I don't really own a tuba, or any other instrument.

Perhaps it is sometimes a case of "mine's bigger than yours."

I don't even have a hypothesis for that one.

those 56J tubas are something. the dude that beat me out for 1st chair at area(again, ) uses one. although I'm not saying it's good just because the guy that beat me uses it, I tried it out, and the low register has a really nice bite to it, very edgy, unlike the semi-muddy sound I get from my 186 right now on the same notes.

although the best cure for GAS is a deflated bank account.

richland tuba 01, a deflated bank account is only a TEMPORARY cure for GAS!! You know, is your 186 a BBb or a CC? That could have something to do with it. The other part, not knowing your situation, is the sound concept you have for those notes in the low register. Given a clear enough concept of how you want them to sound, and enough time, you'll be honking away down there no problem. I'm sure your 186 is as good a horn, it's just a little different.

Yeah, but it's not like people put their addresses in there too...
