Hi all,

The restoration of the 130 year old Harvard Tuba was completed last month, and I finally got around to creating a post summarizing, in photos, the great work done by the team at Dillon Music.

Here's the link: https://tubapastor.blogspot.com/2019/08 ... -tuba.html

Enjoy!
Dave

One thing I forgot to mention is that Matt created a new 90 degree bit for the leadpipe, both to help with the ergonomics of playing the horn (now it's much easier to reach the valves while you play it) and to provide a little resistance to help with centering the pitch.
