Congratulations on your new star! I hope it plays as good as it looks?

I put some pics on flickr of a friend of mine and me picking up my new Norwegian Star at the Miraphone shop. Including a tour through the shop.
Good for you! Enjoy!
This horn is on my short list of desirable horns but I'm not going to be able to get one until they hit the used market. It's too new!

I was certain that the factory would have a bar!

You know that any factory that
really builds
great tubas has to have a bar!!
Those pictures bring back a lot of great memories . . . this is where the magic happens!! That new horn is a real beauty, I'm sure she plays as magnificently as she looks.

Thanks for the tour of the shop!
Do you happen to have a map to the shop and also a map of the shop...like...with the floorplan layout, type of security alarm systems in place, security camera locations, number of guards or large dogs, hours of operation?
I see how US churches have prepared their members for doing charity work. Quite telling.

Clarity and good intonation! But the mouthpiece banging?

With the economy where it is here in the US we have to look for creative ways to supplement our budgets!
Sad to see that even church standards appear to be sliding:

Nice picture! But the main tuning slide is still on the bottom for that tuba. That was a main feature on the Marzan tubas, right?
