I'll be coming down from MSU for the week. I'm hoping to try out some Wessex horns or similar Chinese clones, are they usually well represented?

I plan to make an appearance at some point - probably a 1 day in and out event for me.

I'm looking forward to seeing the big mouth brass booth, they weren't there last year

BMB will not be at TMEA this year either, I've been informed. The powers that be offered a booth at the back end of the 2nd hall and it didn't seem worth the other expenses to make the trip for such a terrible location. For the exhibitor, a convention is all about visibility which come from foot traffic.

Mark, if you are interested in looking at BMB tubas, contact me and I can hook you up.

I'll be there. Stop by the Miraphone booth and say "Hi".
