Are mouthpieces like clamps?

No such thing as too many??

what kind of clamps

It's one of the Undeniable Truths of woodworking.

I like the fact one of them isn't even opened yet -- I have some compact discs I received as gifts like that!

you don't even have all of the Kelly colors yet

I can't buy another color until I get the matching underwear. That's important, you know. I look so cute in my strawberry swirls.

Oh great, now I have THAT image burned into my head

Well, you play 'em too don't you? Big fella.

There have been several times that ladies have come up to me at gigs fascinated by my translucent blue Kellyberg. Don't know what it is about that color in particular. Neither my clear one or gold painted one have that effect.

Maybe we're on to something here.

And I don't think there is such a thing as too many mouthpieces... But my wife does. Luckily most of them are silver so they don't attract her attention unless she sees the box arrive.

My wife thinks I have too many mouthpieces & screwdrivers....she just doesn't understand. However, I WILL NOT own a pink or swirl Kelly

My take on mouthpieces is that if I am not using them I sell them. I only have one or two metal mouthpieces for each horn, and one Kelly as a backup / extreme weather piece for each.
IMHO there really is no need for more than 2-3 mouthpieces per horn for the average player.

But this is TubeNet, where all the tubists are above average.

Is it O.K. to not be good looking-or simply not bad looking? Somewhere between not-so butt-ugly and downright offensive?
A translucent blue Kelly would be cool.

That jagged mouthpiece photo looks how my Kelly feels late in the fourth set.

Tuba Christmas with alternating Punk Pink and Radical Green mouthpieces. I have Radical Green for euph, and it is one of the more obnoxious colors.

This quote, taken on its own merit and totally outside of its intended context, is simply hilarious.

Let me get this straight, Bill. You're calling Wade sick?

Gross out factor:
He cannot have a certain color Kelly 'till he has that color underwear...
Real gross out factor:
He has a clear Kelly.

He has a clear Kelly.

I always thought you were a little strange, but now I can see your nuts.
