I just bought a doofus-looking recording Besson BBb

[Donn]

The ONLY TWO people who NOTICED this tuba at the gig were the
- bass trombone player
- (MUCH later) principal trombone player

There's lots of things people notice and don't say nothing.

naw...

This $500 beat-up old Besson (not $5000, as buyers of beat-up old Alexanders typically pay) actually plays pretty well in tune.

Then it would fit right into our three-Alexander section...... and besides, we got much better deals on our recently purchased non-beat-up Alexanders.

(turns cannon around like the Russians did after thawing out the abandoned French cannon at the end of "1812")
