Hey Twin Cities! WTBorrow -- a tuba for a few weeks

Post by bort »

Ok, I KNOW this is a lot to ask... And I can repay you in dollars, beer, or....?

But, best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray...

My Rudy Meinl 5/4 BBb restore is taking longer than originally planned (but understandable).

My Besson 983 Eb is selling locally this weekend, much sooner than expected (and to the person who helped facilitate this -- thank you!!)

My community orchestra is resuming operations this coming week... Also sooner than expected.


Which means I have no tuba, except for an inappropriate recording bell Conn 20J or a wallhanger-and-barely-plays 1895 Conn Eb.

OMG, I'm in a pinch.

Is anyone within an hour or so of Minneapolis willing to let me borrow a tuba (any key) for a short amount of time? Anything goes, frankly, as long as it's a bell-up tuba. I'm playing Brahms #2.

I have irons in the fire to cover myself moving forward after the Besson 983 sale is over and $ is deposited... but that leaves me a gap week or two.

Humbly asking, can you help me out of a jam, TC?

Open to any options and okay to hear 'no', 'go away', 'WTF are you thinking?', 'Thats interesting' or 'Uffda, seems like you're in a tight spot there, bort'

All okay... But I hadta ask, eh?

Thanks!! :tuba:
