Is it possible that this is the tuba he referred to?

I do believe this is the horn that Gerhard has been referring to (with a giggle) as "the Fasolt". . . If it is the same as what they had at ITEC, it's a great horn.

Is this what Mr. Meinl made for Gene Pokorny?
How 'great' is it? Did you get a chance to play it?

Come on, at least somebody on the board must have played this?
It seems to have been on display at ITEC?
Big, yellow brass, 480mm bell, 4 piston+1rotary and BBb, maybe Gerhard Meinl walking around close... There aren't that many horns that fit this description !

thanks!!!!

Roger Bobo mentioned the (rotor) Fafner in his most recent blog post: Enlightenment in BBb
