How is it possible that 6/4 tubas range in price from $6000 to $40000?

Hahahaha. Good points.

Via duck? Via no chicken?

When you really get to it when you buy a tuba that isn't custom and is $20,000+ USD your simply paying for a brand in my opinion. But, I've never tried one of those magical $40,000 tubas so I can't tell about their supposed magical properties other than I think their not real.

That MW might not have been $40K but ... he sure pulls some great stuff out of it.

In my opinion, a $40,000 tuba had better be able to play itself and make me sound like I have "world class sound".

Just out of curiosity, If a person wanted to become a professional truck driver and and decided to be an owner-operator, how much would a really good big rig cost? For that price, would it drive itself?

In my opinion a $40,000 dollor horn better fetch me a beer and do my laundry as well as play like a dream.

I live in farm country. John Deere GPS towers have sprouted all over the place around here. Buy a good combine, seeder, s**t spreader, whatever these days and yes, it will drive itself. Plus it will know how much s**t to put down when and ... well you get the idea.

As one well-known tubaist said, "For that kind o' dough, it should blow me!".

Ha, Ha--I had forgot about that quite--+1!!

BTW, I own a 6/4 CC silver 5v that I paid $7,104 new BAT--Great horn! Don't take my word for it, go try them out.

Doncha just love it when someone trots out a decidedly satirical post and then some one else posts a dead serious reply. Keeps me coming back to TubeNet.
