I'd stay away from it. I hear intonation is terrible and the tone is stuffy.
Has it been cryogenically treated?

There's still enough there to make a dandy detachable upright bell for a King 1240/41 or early 2340/41. There are plently of bell collars around on recording bells that could be salvaged.

Agreed...but at least use a cracked / patched bell.Chuck(G) wrote:I kind of like it--after all, how many King tubas are wandering around compared to the number of spittoons made from King bells?
You have to admit that the design makes it hard to miss!

I had to consider getting a bell-front instrument to point away from the trombone section in my orchestra to avoid exactly such a problem!the elephant wrote:Every time you spit, you symbolically editorialize
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

I think I saw an umbrella stand in the lobby of Custom Music about a year ago. Someone mentioned that it was a gift promotion from a manufacturer.windshieldbug wrote:I know the factories sometimes made these themselves and presented them as gifts or retirement tributes, like a "gold watch".

I didn't realize this had been put up. I commented on it later. I remember when I began seeing the Marie Callender's restaurant chain began putting tubas as decorations in their restaurants. Every one of those I saw was in playing condition. One guy actually bought one for more than the store paid for it. It was an old York Eefer, bought by the former President of the Orange Belt Musicians Association (which later merged with the Professional Musicians Association of Hollywood) of the Musicians Union.
