I was wondering if any other tubae name their horns, or if I need some serious counseling on how I didn't have enough friends because my dad never hugged me. Excuse me whilst I play some Wagner with Abby. . . .and cry.
Yes, you just may be weird.......

The doctor is in. Send me 10 bucks and I'll tell you if you truly are weird or not....

No, but I suspect my instruments are talking to each other, plotting behind my back... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I call my 1261 Rudy. It's made in Germany and its an English style horn, so I figured it had a lot in common with Rudolph Hess...

I have named all of my horns after the actresses in the sitcom "The Golden Girls". They are named in order of size.

Euph = Estelle Getty
F = Betty White
CC = Bea Arthur

All the horns are silver, so I only used the actresses with grey hair (sorry Rue).

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
