Trip to Simonetti Museum.

Post by edsel585960 »

Went to Durham this week to check out the collection and donate a horn. Vince is up to 319 horns now. :) Had a great time and it was fun picking Vince's brain. https://photos.app.goo.gl/FY37oDZCnNknCb376" target="_blank

I changed the settings. May work now. I'm so electronically challenged. :wink: :roll:

Works fine now!
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Wow. Looks good! Thank's for the photos.
On his homepage he listed a Riedl/ Nürnberg BBb Tuba. Did you seen it?

That is definitely a Bohland and Fuchs Bb Tuba!
I would like to play the tuba and hear her sound!

Not even if you have a “professional” badge from TubeNet?! :D

In all seriousness, I’d love to see the collection. But part of me would be very frustrated in not getting to hear it.
