The F-Tuba Sounds like a Dog Barking

This is a quote from Ed Kleinhammer in the July '05 International Trombone Association Journal. A rather interesting take from the long-time Chicago Symphony bass trombonist. If all of the f tuba players on the board can keep their egos in check long enough to read the article, there are some great stories about Fritz Reiner, Arnold Jacobs and Mr. Kleinhammer's career.
Of course, I didn't defend the f tuba as I am the guest of Glenda (Flute) and Gary Greenhoe (Trombone, Milwaukee Symphony) in their trombone manfacturing shop in Jackson, Wisconsin.

Is the article available on-line for those of us who don't play trombone?

In the words of Fred Young, a hammer on a frying pan.
