You must first forever forsake your casua-jacobean traits.

Dang, all that book learnin' has to go down the tubes?

I proclaim thee THE ****. You are officially my hero no matter what bloke says about your sound.

Chuck

It is true. I once had the New York Met Trumpet Player Peter Bond say during rehearsal,


"Congratulations Wes, when I asked for more "****" in your sound, I didn't ask for you to **** the bed!"


That basically means he loves me, right?



Wes "this one actually did happen" pendergrass

Absolutely!!!!!! I bet he told you the check was in the mail, too.

I'm suprised that a more logical conclusion to your problem didn't surface while this last 4 pages of B.S. took place...................................




Attach a C extension from my old broken down string bass to your 7th valve on the CCb hellafone. Then use a steel guitar slide bar to get the 16th notes. I did this with my 13 valve cervenyfonic PT101 with a 27.5 inch diagonal bell made of 8 gauge sheet metal with a 10 gauge wire rim spot welded to the edge. ( works reallly gooder with a harmon mute with the stem pulled out ).

in eurup, these are known as the "Cervaphone PT109 omnitonic, 13 valve"

I think, quite possibly, but not unequivicably, but in no way shape or form randomly, that you should under very close scrutiny and with unflagging perseverence and more than a little dogged confidence while trying to maintain, but not attempting, to assure your attempts while not azttempting anything but the attempt to attempt while marginally moving your 3rd molar a quarter of a centimeter whilst moving your tounge in a somewhat semi-circular pattern of firgure eights while throat-singing the Bulgarian National Anthem not in it's orginal key of A, but in G (I am sure that some member of the TNFJ can copy, pdf, finagle, steal, scan, obtain, obfuscate, purloin a second hand copy from the Outer-Slobovia Philharmonics last audition list that someone scanned, copied into a pdf using the latest WingNut transcribing software from Macrosoft Software and Ancient Euphonium Service) while subdidving with your feet and the brand new SureShot Subdividing metronome and wine chiller and reciting the mantra "PT6PT6PT6" in silver while rattling your piston valves borrowed from a Helicon in F built up to BB that you have to use on Ride while your 3rd cousin keeps time with a TiTanic Bronze Age Super Heavyweight MP and Nail driver(air compressor optional, except when playing you bass tuba, but that is another note)take it up an octave and leave it out, unless you live in Tennessee, then you must go an island in the middle of a pond, sacrifice a goat and a Holton 345, and chant the number 13......if this doesn't work, well then **** it.

Chuck

If he sacrifices a Holton 345, I'm coming after his ***.

All apologies to bloke, I thought he was asking how i created Fountains. My personal horn is a quadruple silver laquered piston activated rotary BBb/BB/CC/DDb helicon shaped Cavalry basscontrabasssubcontrabassquartertonecagestockhausen toooooooooobah that was once identified by Arnold Jacobs as a tuba that would make any pyschiatrist happy that only gets played in recitals of the music of Ferd Burfle in obscure non-sectarian churches in southern north carolina on odd days in May during the leap year. My mouthpiece is a special 142 piece adjustable gap/cup/rim/backbore piece that weighs in at 10 lb. and doubles a siphon house for reformulated WWII twin engine fighter planes, hence the provenance. It was once played on by the Principal Tuba Player of Southeastern North Carolina State College of Proctology and Opthamology (their team was named the Winking Brown-Eyes)and gauranteed by him to give me a WORLD CLASS SOUND. I will post about my altobass 16 valved EE toooooooooooobah at some future date.

Chuck

I love you, man.

Rick "but who has already debunked the value of WWII fighter plane siphon, as anyone with a brain knows" Denney

You dang kids with your Perantucci tubas....
I called up Gus Helleberg and he said no tuba player under the age of 50 should even look at Fountains of Rome without first walking a mile in the snow, uphill and do so while carrying a FFb helicon with bare feet.
And you whippersnappers with your college...
In my day, college was what you did in between the 1st and 4th movement of Dvorak's New World Symphony. Real players earned their chops by bashing their lips 1,678,001 times on the 43rd brick of Chicago's Orchestra Hall.
Only then, are you ready to play real tuba.
