Beautiful!
When you get it, can you post a photo of your playing it? Curious just how huge it really is!

She's certainly a beauty! Best wishes to you and your new axe!
Tell me, did he cut the bell flare too, or is that the original diameter?

Only one problem, Terry... it's impossible to play a tuba while grinning that much.
What an exceptional tuba. Play it in good health! Congratulations!

I just came across this thread today and want to echo all the other positive comments about your horn. What a beauty and the fact that it plays so well is just terrific. Norm Epley is a true craftsmen for sure. Enjoy this tremendous piece of musical history!
