Next time I should just buy a red Miata and be done with it.

I thought only women and thin men in their mid/late 30's with closely cropped hairdos and neatly pressed shirts bought those...

For the last 12 years, until my retirement from playing this past Spring, I played the following:

- York, 5 valved, CC tuba. Cut and redesigned by Bob Rusk.
- York, 5 valved, monster Eb tuba. Redesigned by me.
- Meinl Weston, 4 valved, Bill Bell Model CC tuba.
- Rudolph Meinl 5/4, 4 valved tuba. Loaned to me for Mahler 5.
