A diarrhea diorama.

Bad idea? Perhaps, but it could be educational.

And for the price of a shoe box, cheap to make?
Thanks for playing!

This is now a sculpture waiting to happen if anyone puts me in charge of a park.

I expect that is one less thing i'll be trusted with...
When no one will trust me with anything, am i free?

And i was coming here with something so mundane as leaving chocolate in a car. My childhood honed skills with flavo-ice came in handy.

Do pro orchestras have industry standard best practices?

Bad idea = selling my Miraphone 188

I've been through 4 horns in 4 years since then... and may well end up right back with a 188! :oops:

Every time I think I may want a brighter, shinier tuba, I have second thoughts and just resign myself to practice more.

Hey now, that’s NOT a bad idea!!

Ah, but to practice more... I'd have to practice.

Some day, maybe...

Is it probably more difficult to get BSO certified than ISO?

I'm pretty sure pro orchestras also have performance reviews.

Is it difficult to get certified by the British School of Osteopathy (the largest and the oldest school of osteopathy in the United Kingdom)?

It probably takes a crack ensemble!

A double bell instrument without a bell swapping valve?

There is a little more thought, but the goal is to have blowing on the mouthpiece funtion as the bow on a stringed instrument, where if you want you can move closer to or further from the bridge to alter the tone qualities...

Least that is the abstract concept. I am sure a fundamental misunderstanding is involved, but am too lazy at the moment...
