... then again, maybe it was just nailed to the ceiling with its cohorts in Michigan ala Friendly's...

Those aren't too far gone. I think that bloke could still patch them up, convert them to the key of CC, add two more valves, make them play perfectly in tune, and add a nice silver and gold-plated finish, all while composing 1,000 more TubeNet posts, and over one weekend.

He might have a slightly more difficult time with this one, though.

or, if he's up for a challange, he can swap bells on these...

I'm not so sure that's a good idea. I've been told that tubas of that sort tend to be really flat.

Could be, but you've got to learn to roll with the punches...

Looks to me like they might be a little high, in fact!

No, it just means that they're all in the same key; B flat (groan!)

I'm sure the sound would be quite thin ...

Everybody's a critic...

It seems as though our jokes might have fallen a little flat as well.
