If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

really excited to see how this goes! I've done this with special vintage saxophones before and I'd love to get my hands on a tuba like that and do a "restomod" to it

Yep, rebuilding would have been ok for museum purposes, but I want to actually play this tuba!bloke wrote:I'm really glad to see this.
Assuming an instrument is worthy of such a restoration, there's nothing like REPLACING worn-out parts (vs. "rebuilding" them).

Just keep the old parts in case somebody wants to "restore" the tuba rather than play it.
