Re: Bort news!
Congratulations! Now you have to get them their first tuba. My Besson 787, which is for sale at Baltimore Brass, would work perfectly.





Principal tuba, Bel Air Community Band
Old (early 1900s?) Alexander BBb proto-163
1976 Sonora (B&S 101) 4-rotor BBb
1964 Conn 20J/21J BBb (one body, both bells)
~1904 York 3P BBb Helicon

Re: Bort news!
Thanks, all! We just brought him home from the hospital today, so finally, all under one roof. Let the craziness begin!
I can assure you, Joe, Rebort was not on our name list, and I wish it was!
Frank, maybe after paying the hospital bills
. My 2-year old is quite interested in my tuba!

Re: Bort news!
When they get old enough that you can form a tuba trio, you can call it "Bort and Sons"

I vote for "Bort-Bort-Bort" a la the Muppets Swedish Chef.Heavy_Metal wrote:When they get old enough that you can form a tuba trio, you can call it "Bort and Sons"
Either way - Congrats to you and your Mrs!
