Re: If you want a giant tuba...
I believe I was -- very briefly -- the previous owner of that one, before Norm. It is indeed both giant and shiny. I think it was stored in a closet for most of its life. If you want a 36J, you'd be very lucky to find a nicer one.bort wrote:Just saw this one... Conn 36J... shiny!![]()

Re: If you want a giant tuba...
But anyway, on the *other* other hand, Norm is a standup guy and if you want one of his tubas, you won't be sorry you dealt with him.
