Yes! These too. Even when they're right they're wrong.

I tuned Chopin's piano in my previous life.

BAM!!

I had a mid-eighties Mirafone 188 CC in college which played amazingly well in tune. I sold it around 8 years ago. I sure do miss that horn.....

But to be fair, Three Valves presumably died too, in his previous life. As was all too common for people in those days.

I find consistency in one's Jack-assery to be of greater value than constancy.

Oh, stop being an Asshat!!

I've eaten store bought cheesecake since the A&P was a roadside stand, and I'm as alive as can be!!

(Since the last time I died)

Not to get us further off topic (ha!) but doesn't Chopin remind you of Christopher Walken in that photo? I wonder what Chopin thought of cowbells?

He may have been too busy "doing other stuff" to tink about 'em ...

Just to be contrary to bloke - the most in-tune tuba I've played (haven't played many, but of those I have,) isn't for sale. (I just bought it)

its a Rudy 4345, and is the most point & shoot horn I've ever had. And it has that Rudy sound. Just not as much of it as my 5/4.

I have a feeling that this will be my "go-to" horn for the foreseeable future. It's much easier to play than the big Rudy, and fills the hall better than the F. I think I may have gotten lucky on this one. - - I 've just gotten a Profundo Helleberg rim that I'm going to try on it tonight, hopefully it will work as well as the cup extender did. --
