Whilst at the army band tuba conference this past year, i came across an individual seller, selling his used PT606PS. that seller was Cameron Gates, great guy, sold me a great horn. He's says he was one of the first people to buy the 606 when it came out a few years ago, thats pretty cool. the serial number on theis horn is 3
66658. I thought its pretty cool that the three consecutive numbers in the serial number is"666"

. Am i justified in thinking that this is pretty cool?

No, not particularly.

The number on that horn is
absolutely meaningless, and I am speaking on Christ's authority! As a matter of fact, one who takes extra meaning or fear into a number in that way can easily by guilty of idolatry. Don't give it any mind at all, for it is only a number like any other.
The number "666" in the Bible is actually the number of a specific individual, and is something that
should be paid attention to by anyone seeking knowledge and wisdom (Psalm 111:10).
Revelation 13:18
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
The real 666 is something to worry about way more than any tuba...
The Pope's Latin title "VICARIVS FILII DEI" which means "in place of the Son of God". Adding those letters which are Roman numerals gives V+I+C+I+V+I+L+I+I+D+I = 5+1+100+1+5+1+50+1+1+500+1 = 666.
Revelation 13:11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns
like a lamb (in place of the Son of God) and spoke like a dragon (Satan himself). 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast (soon to come dictator of the European Union) in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
If you really are curious about it, check out the truth in your very own Bible.

IIRC, Cameron Gates was a big proponent of that model. I wonder what he bought to replace it with.

If you don't think that you're capable of keeping that tuba with it's serial #, I'm sure that we could find someone that would gladly take that off your hands.

im in total agreement with duckskiff, tubenet is not the place for theological discussion, and i in no way meant to provoke such a discussion. but who are the five greatest rappers of all time?...Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan! anyway, that is some fancy trick with numbers, but it proves that some people have way too much time on their hand...hmm, kind of like us tubenetters.
by the way, ill sell the horn once my arms fall off and my lips disintegrate!

"Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. "
666 is also the same set of numbers found in the element carbon the basis of all life.
Carbon-
protons:6
Neutrons:6
Electrons:6
The Bible has NEVER been proved wrong by actual findings in science.
the ACTUAL FACTS of science have only proved what the Bible says to be TRUE!
now as for a serial # on a tuba i wouldn't think anything of it but Kudos on getting a PT606 awesome horns! best wishes

Hey, good point about the "E". Hahaha. I wasn't thinking all that straight at that time, and just cut and pasted from some 7th day adventist website. That really doesn't add up right, does it? LOL.
I'm just trying to get people thinking, and the number does stand for a man. The revival of the Roman Empire is certainly right around the corner, and great power is coming out of Europe. There is going to be a great political leader of ten nations that will be given power from a great spiritual leader, who will make great signs.
This spiritual leader to come will be the Antichrist, and he'll most likely be a trumpet player.
Watch and see my friends. Sorry about that mistake though.

... it means that, even if you're dyslexic, you're still playing a 606.
Ask Madonna if that means anything in Kabbalah!

I'dve been more impressed if the serial number was
10,314,424,798,490,535,546,171,949,056

You probably should have owned a few of these already...
I know that the world population is growing at about 3 people per second, but what's the tuba population growth rate?

So Cameron,
You were a
fierce advocate for the 6
06. What DID you buy to replace it?
I needed the money. Is this a crime? I have two kids and a wife that does not work. Want to hear more, PM me. I will buy another when I get the money. Do you want to loan me some cash?
Right now a King Sousaphone seems to make me more money.

when i wrote

, i was thinking from a rock and/or roll perspective, seeing as how rock was originally concieved as the devils music. At no point in my original post did I ask, "you think this was made by the devil?", or "you think this will piss god off?", or "what does god have to say about this?". I was merely trying to see if anyone else thought that that was kind of cool, i wasnt asking if it was the coolest thing in the world, i just thought it was cool.
THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR THEOLOGICAL DISCUSSION!!!
STOP DISCUSSING THEOLOGY!!!
