Don't carry your tuba, wheel it!

Post by Lars Trawen »

This to bring you my latest tuba invention.
Check out the pics and no questions remain.
Very stable due to big wheels and long distance between them.
Walking through the town is not any problem now.
The wheels are easily removable like a buggy.
My tuba is huge and heavy, it weighs 65 lbs with hard case and is impossible to carry more than 25 yards.

All the best,
Lars

I am sure your invention will help you with those fast runs. Due to gravity probably most the downward ones.

And if the colour correction is OK on the photo at the bottom of the page, then one truly may say, that all of your notes are coming out of the blue.

Anyway your sample is one to follow. If you don't abuse your joints with needless hard work through your youth, you may still be able to walk, when you enter the last third of your life.

Speaking with a bit too much of experience:

No, it's a pneumatic tube of nylon, available in any color.
