The only problem is that for SOME of them there is a reason that they remained unused...

(good horns are usually played to death!)
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Un-ba-stink-in-lievable!

A student of mine at OSU came across a well-preserved 4v Alex barn find, and paid $1500 for a very nice tuba. Best wishes for a successful refurb!

Nope Bloke, unfortunately this belongs to another. This one had never been finished with plating or laquer. From what I've been told it is a gem...... But all the slides are stuck for now...

Very cool! That bell looks particularly pancake-y... so its a miracle it wasn't stepped on at some point.
