When I went back to college, after time in the Army, I lived on campus with my wife and my young daughter. My daughter often stuck her dolls inside my tuba, which was embarrassing during rehearsals at school and for some of the outside gigs I had!

My Conn ex-"US" 26K was a bit stuffy when I first got it; I just figured it was because it hadn't been played for years, but turns out...

There was a barry sax neck stuck in it. Shined it up, and it fits my "Big B" Buescher just fine! (and you know what they say, "always carry a spare!") :lol:

Even now -- this very moment -- correct, in-tune notes are stuck in my horn, and I've been unable to get them to come out no matter WHAT I try. The only thing I've not yet attempted is practicing. :oops:
