OK, I'll confess before tubatooter1940 does: having started on trumpet in 5th grade band, I have one also. Occasionally I get called to fill lower parts when there is a scarcity of trumpets and someone actually does show up with a tuba besides me. Unfortunately for the Shrine band I play with occasionally, this happens much more than it should!

But one thing: even though I also have a late H N White King 3B trombone, I don't show up with it anymore unless the number of trumpets and tubas are each more than the number of trombones if I were to be playing bone.

I bought the Vibe in '04 too.. great gas mileage, and holds tubas/kids/wife/animals very well. If I could do it again.. I'd buy its sister car.. the Toyota Matrix. Better resale, but the exact same car.

This Kia looks like a nice addition to the crossover wagon category.. maybe in 5 years... like Joe said.. I'll buy one. That's the unfortunate thing about Kia... low priced, low resale.

Working in a trio of tuba,guitar and harmonica, an occasional trumpet ride adds a big change-up to our sound. You should see the heads snap around when the trumpet starts up. The guys in the Creekers tell me it is well worth the occasional clam to have the variety provided by the trumpet.
