I'll take Bass Ale if that ever happened to my Besson.

You guys jest. All it takes is a picture of someone doing this to a Yamayork, Nirschl, Hirsbrunner or other high-dollar horn and it will become the "mod of the month." To make it that much more serious, someone will post on TubeNet how the lighter aluminum caps improve everything from speed, tone, tonguing, libido, golf game, fantasy football.....you name it.windshieldbug wrote:REAL tubists use twist-offs.schlepporello wrote:Great.

I'm glad no one has posted such a picture.
