"Filthy Dirty Tuba"

Post by The Big Ben »

Sounds like something someone in the woodwind section might have said to me at one time:

"Filthy Dirty Tuba"
:twisted:

However, it is a horn for sale:

It *is* filthy and dirty.... Not sure what it is. Looks big enough to be a BBb or a big Eb.

I didn't know that Filthy Dirty, inc had evaded the Steinway cyborg!
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Parts of it *do* appear to be assembled by scab labor...

... then it probably says "Filthy Dirtys / London / H75983" on the bell... :shock: :D

Wonder if Allied has a 3rd piston for a "Filthy Dirty" tuba...

Oh, it's naughty, all right...

I'm surprised you don't have one of these in your collection. You should buy it and have it 'Oberlohed"

It's not interesting enough to waste the time or effort to have it Oberlohed. At the end of the day, all you have is a no-name, 3 valve top action Eb. Plenty of those on the market.

Good beater for someone that wants to experiment with though...
I was jes' teasin', Harold. Dan would probably laugh you outta the shop...

I don't think so... Allied moved all my things here from California and the tubas got here just fine!
