Wasn't the St. Petersburg "craze" starting just about then? Not sure if its a passing fad or not. What about the R&S Mouthpieces?

How about those heavy weight valve caps?

Every F tuba that's not a B&S

A Conn souzy, pre MacMillan, is not a fad. It is a staple bordering on an institution.

Somewhere around 1999-2000 wasn't there a lot about cutting/converting/building your own tuba?
Canadian Brass AJ mouthpieces seemed a bit in vogue then too (I still use one)
anything York was like touching heaven a few years back

Already said it.
Was shocked, because back when I first started Tubenet... one of the longest threads concerned whether or not they really did anything...
Still haven't actually gotten the chance to play on one.

The archives don't go all the way back, do they? What, maybe 1999?Oh well, skeletonized mouthpieces, then.
One we avoided?

One fad I hope we tubists managed to sidestep as a tribe - subjecting our instruments to cryogenic torture. Quite a few trumpet jocks fell for that one. "When hell freezes over," I said!

Fell for it?

Synthetic and petroleum based valve oils
Tuning Slide Grease
Euphonium slide kickers
Windex (mostly used by Greek wedding bands)
unlacquered bells, horns
Lip building/range building/lung building/finger strength building exercises and devices
I only listed the categories as the list would be longer than my typing could ever comlete.

Not so strange. The horn I would love to buy back today was a "pre" RM 45. I was shocked and dismayed when I played the "new" 4345s, and have since found out that they never really improved.cktuba wrote:Yep, I forgot those... strange since I play a Rudy 4/4 (RM 45).Scooby Tuba wrote:Oh, Rudy 4345 piston and rotary, too.
