The only person worse than him are baggage handlers my work has given me access to the baggage systems in an international airport and the things that happen to hold luggage through poor design and bad attitudes would make your hair stand on end.

Unfortunately, 'jackass' was not available as a choice.

What is that all about? Anyone have a clue who the moron is?

As a recent recipient of a badly damaged horn from WW&BW I hope I never find out who this guy is (for his sake). My horn was packed in a damaged box with entirely insufficient amounts of bubble wrap. WW&BW did pay the repair costs in full, to their credit, but if I were an employee I would track this guy down in a hurry.

If in fact we can confirm that this is a WW&BB warehouse, I will be reticent to do business with them again given my previous shipping experience.

2+2 says that the guy shooting the video was Jason Allison(Spacebender67) and that it was shot in the warehouse at WWBW. I guess we'll have to ask him who his partner in crime was. It is interesting that he was so helpful to Cam and then does this?

Looks like one of those Barrington piston Bb's. Yet another reason to add to my long, personally learned, list to avoid WWBW.

2+2 could equal anything. However, if you go to YouTube and pull up Spacebender67 and watch a couple of videos, particularly ones called Teddy Plays a Tuba and WWBW Closing Ceremony you will probably get the same answer to the math problem that I did. I had nothing to do with this. I didn't make the videos. I didn't post them and the only person I have ever dealt with at WWBW was Roger. Don't know Allison. Don't why anyone would post this stuff.

I didn't name him. He named himself. It is really surprising what you can dig up in 15 minutes on the internet nowadays. Frightening really, but that's another rant for another time.

Yes, have you looked at Spacebender67's youtube channel. All the other videos, seem to be in that vein. However, playing badly, loudly, acting like a fool, are "acceptable." OTOH, breaking a tuba PURPOSELY and posting it on the internet, is IMHO unacceptable.... And really stupid.....

I've never understood the smashing instruments stuff. Somebody spends a lot of time effort to make something and then some bozo destroys it for just the hell of it.

Recently bought a large item from WWBW online and it was delivered within 36 hours to my doorstep and well packed. I've always had good service from WWBW although for the most part dealt with Roger who was always great to deal with.

There was a glossy brochure in the box saying to visit their large superstore in Southbend. Are they open or a little warehouse humor?

@LJV -

Quit posting vids of these morons destroying musical instruments - it's pissing me off
I will just calmly say that I'd like to put those fools in the hospital...
