Stop freaking out about the stupid article about that euphonium player in England who played on a disgusting instrument; it was a rarity and an example of scare journalism.

It can't be fake news, I saw it on CNN!!

See contact info, below.
Be sure and let us know whether you're looking for a lip-buzzing (aka center fire) or lip-vibrating (aka rim fire) tuba.

No, ship the risky tubas it to me so that they can be disposed of properly. Of course, if I get too many tubas this way I will need assistance and will gladly send some your way for proper 'disposal'. Let me know if anyone needs my shipping address, I prefer to have large packages shipped to my office so that they don't sit on my doorstep while I'm at work.

If you ship them to me, I'll waive 1/2 of my usual hazardous material handling fee on the second tuba.

BBb only please.

This week only!!

Starting from such a small germ of a question.

I've heard that half the population of Europe was once killed by plague infested tubas.

Sure, that was before National Health!!

That used to be a fairly common practice among horn players, along with putting bits of match sticks in slides. WEIRD MOB THOSE HORNISTS - VERY WEIRD!
