MISERICORDE, n.
A dagger which in mediaeval warfare was used by the foot soldier to remind an unhorsed knight that he was mortal.
- Devil's Dictionary - Ambrose Bierce
My last major York tuba project is probably the one I like most. It's the property of Andy Rodgers in NY and is the largest horn of it type to leave my bench. With a 23'' bell and the fifth valve, it probably the heavies as well. The second is Mike Russell's (Seattle Symp. retired) BBb York that I completed in '93 which is tied with Mike Ferrie's BBb Martin, finished in '04. All cool and fun instruments that have all taken their share of my hide. Still, I have a soft spot for the Holton 345, it just happens to be in my head

Dan, with the 5th valve added, did you cut Andy's York to CC or retain it as a BBb?
