Uh...what? Sure...unless it's raw brass, then there really aren't any reflections.

Yes, I see myself in a Miraphone very soon. As a matter of fact, it should be on its way here from Germany any day now!

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

I was going to caption it "An instrument for conductors and viola players" but then I was distracted... :wink:

What did I miss, here? Did something get deleted? :?:
Nothing was deleted from my side. That photo is related to a fairly well known truck driver of this forum, and it is about seeing somebody in some brand of brass. The words are just truisms.

Wade,
It is my guess that said person did not get Klaus' brand of humor, and took him to be uttering tubal blasphemy.

Myself, I enjoyed Klaus' post. Keep 'em coming, Klaus! :D

I apologize for my misunderstanding of Klaus' post. I DID think he was dumping on Miraphone. Reading it again, I now understand :oops:

No worries. You came back and cleaned up your mess. Have another beer. And, maybe, another fried egg sandwich. On the house...

Isn't it spelled with an "f": on tubas? MIRAFONE, not "ph"

Miraphone appears like the spelling used always but for the instruments imported by a previous US importer located in California.

This Conn is a little cramped. I hope to branch out into more valves, soon.
