It's gold that has to be what makes it professional.

Oh, come on now, guys. Please. LOTS of pros use that exact make and model of tuba. Why, there's... um... there's... well... there is that guy in that group. You know. That guy. HE uses that same tuba. Or some tuba. That looks like that tuba. Or *a* tuba. Ah, crap. Never mind.

It was built by "professional 3-valve BBb tuba builders", was it not...??

I call BS, because of course a professional tuba would have rotary valves.

[PMeuph]

Well, if that's the price of their 3 valve 3/4 BBb tuba, I would not like to see the price of their 5 valve 5/4 horns....

AMEN!

It ain't perfeshonal until you strip all the lacquer off!

Don't forget - you get a free pick-up AND a pair of white gloves!! Now that's what you call pro options.

and it does have an extra leadpipe for marching. Certainly a professional instrument.

Look, you just never know when you will get called to play the Bozza while marking time. A real pro NEEDS those gloves and that leadpipe. Only amateurs borrow gloves or marching leadpipes. Me? I have six of these tubas and twelve of the leadpipes just to make sure! AND I have a St. Pete as a backup horn!
