Re: Albin Feiler tuba
I don't think it's copper (if I translated right). Just looks like brass patina to me.

Good job Jim.
Koper is indeed the word for brass. Brass instruments are thus koperinstrumenten or koperblazers. In this instance the seller is basically telling us that the tuba's not silver, it's brass.

Mmmm; "messing" is the Dutch word for brass. "Koper" ( = "copper") is a sloppy Dutch colloquialism for "brass instruments".pjv wrote: Koper is indeed the word for brass.

Re: Albin Feiler tuba
Whether it's sloppy or not is something I'll leave to the linguists. It is however the correct term. A brass section is een kopersectie, and not een messingsectie.
Anyway, we've gotten off the beaten track. I'd never heard of Albin Feiler but this tuba at least looks like a respectable instrument in the pic's. For whatever that's worth...

You've had Google translate a whole bunch of other words, but "koper" means "copper" in Dutch.

Re: Albin Feiler tuba
Dear Uncle Troll,
-I moved to in the Netherlands in 1985 and only speak Dutch at home. I don't need Google. That was for fun.
-Koper has 3 meanings, copper and buyer being two of them. In the context of music (which is what we were discussing) the only correct translation for koper is brass. In the business world a translation of koopman as "buy man" or "buying man" would also be incorrect. The word we're looking for is merchant.
Look at it the other way around; if a Dutch musician person came to the US and said "the tuba is a member of the copper family" people would look at him with a WTF. This person's translation of koper to copper would be incorrect because the context in which he uses "copper" is incorrect. I've no idea what koper's etymology is, but considering that brass (the brass alloy's we musicians talk about!) consists of somewhere between the 70%-90% copper (depending on the type of brass) I'd say this isn't far from the mark.
-This is a REALLY boring subject for TubeNet. Therefore I say Uncle Bear, go back to your cave and don't come back unless you have some really juicy info about Albin Feiler!
