For obvious reasons I won't come around, even if I certainly would like to test your bass aquarium.

It is kind of tough to google for your Swiss guest, as Switzerland has 4 official languages, and at least 3 of these 4 language areas have orchestras as part of their cultural set-up.

If nothing else the recent visit at your home made one more quality of your unique tuba obvious: kids can't hide into it!

Most aquariums and even bottles containing distilled water have a tendency to grow green from algae. Have you found a special note that will shatter these of the inside of your tuba, sort of sonic cleaning?

I hate one thing about most conical low brasses: the weight: How heavy is your BBb?

Klaus,

Brian's clear tuba is in CC, I believe. At least the 3v prototype that was white was CC.

Yes, you are right! It is a CC. Just one more non-standard feature to it.

I couldn't determine the orchestra, but there is a tuba player around those parts who goes by Karl Schimke.
