My two current project horns are a 3/4 York Eb and a Martin medium sousaphone in BBb. The Martin likely will be for sale in the future.

We have a toy Dachshund that starts scratching in her cage/bed every morning about 6:30AM. This irritating noise bothers me so much I have to get up and let her out. The wife just pulls the covers over her ears. Funny how we let dogs run our lives, NOT!

The feral cat that we adopted after it got trapped in my van for a day has just given birth to four kittens.

Your trials are just beginning. He will wake up, trust me on that. On a positive note there are many more huge blessings in store for you. Unfortunately the best won't happen until you witness the baptism of his baby. That's a long time to wait, but worth every minute.

Sure you shouldn't have posted that as "bart" rather than "bort"? :twisted:

But seriously- since we do get inquiries about where the good tuba dealers are located, having them on a map would help. We can start with the following:

Catonsville, MD- Baltimore Brass

Woodbridge, NJ- Dillon Music

Williston, TN- Mid-South Music

Your turn..................
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

It was more of a joke that first the Buffet showroom opens in Jacksonville, the Wessex opens their showroom in far western Michigan. Two odd, low traffic locations in my opinion.

That is weird- wonder why Buffet located their offices in JAX, so far from their NYC showroom? Their site doesn't say anything about a showroom in JAX either.......

And Wessex? All I can figure is they must have wanted to be roughly in the center of the Chicago-Milwaukee-Detroit area, though the lake ferry from Milwaukee costs $250.00 or so one way................

The location of WESSEX in Western Michigan was a logical choice since the sales rep/warehouse manager lives there.

Yep. And one thing is for sure, a cargo port is THE best place for a showroom!
