Thanks again, Joe, for the kind offer. Were it not 3 hours away I'd head-up today! Let me putz around with things today and find-out whatever I will, but I might very well take you up on the offer sometime Real Soon! When it comes to tuba playing, and most other things come to think about it, I can learn things pretty well, but I'm not at all quick about it.

THE WHOLE POINT of buying new is that you can return it if it isn't good. Hopefully you at least tried one at a booth somewhere before buying? Even if not it is your right to return for any or no reason.
