I'm excited...

Post by tubaguy9 »

I'm getting a lot of tuba stuff and getting a lot done to my horn by the end of March...I'm receiving stuff by the end of this month...
What I'm going to receive:
-New Miraphone Gig bag (from WWBW)
-New mouthpiece pouch (from WWBW)
-New Blokepiece Symphony (from bloke himself)
What will be happening to my horn:
-Chem Clean
-Lacquer stripping
-Fifth valve added
-Boroscope aligned rotor valves
Done by myself at repair school.
Yes, for the TNFJ, I will include horn/mouthpiece/gig bag dorn when it is all done...
I just had to share what is happening soon to my horn and what I will be receiving...
I think I might end up as a grumpy old man when I get old...

It is always a good thing to get excited about things related to tuba. This is an undisputable fact.

one of the most exciting things? The price for the stuff I'm doing to my horn

(PM me if you want the details on price. I warn you, it is pretty good for it)

My 186 is also @1971. Is yours a fixed upright or detachable recording bell variant?
