I emailed Steve Ferguson, he said they had them. Matt Walters said he can order it too. It's just brand new, so not many out there yet.

Thanks though, Frank!

A couple of weeks ago I had a phone call from Christian over there at Miraphone. Hopefully there will be a sample of the TU-43 at the upcoming Army Tuba Conference.

I'll be bringing a TU43 along for the Army Band Conference.

See you soon.

Thanks Roger. Unfortunately, I won't be there for it... if you or anyone else could give any thoughts on it, I'd appreciate it. Just trying to judge if it's something I might want to buy and try... or not.

Thanks!
