His standard joke (in response to any good B-flat tuba presented for discussion or sale) was to post:
CUT IT TO C !!! :twisted:
D@^^^, Joe... You should have cut my Kaiser down to CC while I was there.
I'd love to have a Kaiser in CC that was worth a damn. The Alex 164 had the sound, but leaves much playability to be desired. Cerveny ... Meh (sorry Mark). Not much else out there!
