Leopard Print 22K?

Post by WilliamVance »

Interesting paint scheme. Perhaps a "cougar Tuba"?

I wonder what kind of group this may have been played in...

They said what kind of group it was played in "used in a clown band."

The new E-bay "tablet" version does not show the description until you choose to read about it. I just realized this. I find it interesting that the big red tounge and fangs offended one lady. I would think the sound coming out of a fiberglass Sousa would be offensive enough :P just kiddin'

Obviously, this lady has never witnessed a performance by the Scottville Clown Band! Those guys are great! One sousaphone player a few years back even had a HUGE thong stretched over the bell of his 20K.
