I predict it will attract buyers like flames to a sloth... :shock:
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

I am very excited and flattered to no end. :roll:

With this great instrument, I will no doubt increase my upper range by half an octave and win my next audition to play the FIRST Tuba part at Tuba Christmas next year.

Well, in Newport News, VA anyway, maybe, the competition is pretty fierce in Frederick, MD!!

:tuba:

I look forward to being your designated representative for the Mid-Atlantic and Signature Model bloketubas Artiste. (Provided Mack Brass does not match your generous offer) :shock:

I had a German tuba shipped via their corporation's french warehouse.
It had to many flaws at had to be returned, but I am sure it would be MUCH worse if the French wasn't involved.

Three Valves rather should be flattened by this design being dedicated to him. He will need that for certain fingerings.

But then, if this model sloths well, customers will be clawing for it.

Inspired, I will compose a special commemorative number titled;

"Mazurka in Eb"

The uptempo waltz will be sensitive to those with limited range.

Say, from F1 thru F3.

That's F3 on a good day.

On a day when Db3 isn't the best I can do consistently and with good tone... :oops:

Coincidentally. I just saw a very similar design as what is proposed for the tuba (3 valve) on a sticker on the back of a car. It also said, "Don't Hurry, Be Happy."

Sorry, but I have no first hand experience with either type of insects, so I couldn’t take the same approach to this project like you did: Starting from scratch!

IF you are serious...
The three valve Martin "Handcraft" 6/4 BBb was one of the finest tubas I have ever played...
Just saying...
