Jinbao? Isn't that one of those dough balls with meat in the center?
Oh, yeah... Those are humbows... Sorry about that...

all of them, particularly the extraordinarily nicely silver plated ones with the valves that all rotate the same way
TubeNet just vomited JinBao. 今晚,南风吹,方式的号角只能告诉是声音很大的风

That is the reason to buy an M&M tuba - melts in your mouth, not on your pants.

I am completely serious when I say that I really like the direction this is heading.

I think you just wanted the 9th or 10th thread on Jinbao or Chinese tubas that shows up on the front page of the forum.

Yum! Nothing to be sorry about Jeff. I remember an Indonesian coworker of mine years ago who made them himself and brought them into the shop to share. They were mighty tasty. Jonathan was a blast to work with. Really nice guy.
Seeing how this thread on chinese tubas is pointless and probably going nowhere, anyone have some good recipes for Chinese cosine?

That would take us off on a tangent.

I prefer to buy them from the guy in Iceland. He includes Hetman oil and a Klier mpc.
I have three of each, which I keep stored in lockers below the halls at each of my full-time opera orchestra gigs.
btw, I'm selling six of the cases, if anyone is interested.
Bloke, What have you been smoking???

TubeNet saves bloke a lot of shrink money.
Btw: Does the Iceland guy have some of the curly ash ones left over from last year’s April?

Bit late for that, I fear -- there is no Sanity Clause (sorry, Virginia) in that contract ...

They will have none of the problems associated with anyone else's, and the valves will all go in the same direction, but the opposite direction of other all-in-one-direction instruments. The extra resistance offers a more solid tone. By the way, the valves are pistons.
Learn it. Love it. Respect it. 
Can I get mine with globe valves?

The finger buttons are on the bottoms of the valves?
