It is back up.

And I share bisontuba's enthusiasm for these in general.
Thanks for playing!

Ok, what am I missing here? What is the attraction to this seemingly "normal" tuba?

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

I too like to replace the f with a p when spelling Brau's last name, even though in this day and age, it is probably the computer's fault.

I guess i like the sound my Keefer helicon makes... I'll have to play it again this weekend, and try to distill what i like about it into more concise words, but yeah, if i have to name a favorite tuba, i probably would still say that helicon.

Their helicons and older sousaphones (20s and earlier?), though, do have an attypical valve section, which is kind of refreshingly different visually.
Thanks for playing!

IIRC, Keefer was a considered a "high end" manufacturer, back in the day.....
