Hi.

Carol plays at PT 6P CC and a Yamaha 822 F. She knows all of the fingerings.

Even the alternate fingerings?!

I'd bet on it!

WOW!!1!!!1! I have half of the same equipment she has! That must make me at least half as good as she is! Maybe I should switch to an 822 F so I can finally win the big auditions!

But then she'll switch, and then you'll have to switch, and so on and so on, and the first thing you know, you know, you may actually have to BE good!

Gasp! I always thought that the horn was 90% of the equation.

Wait, wait! Next we need to know what mouthpieces she uses! How does she feel about stainless steel?

Jeremy that steak looks a wee bit small and dry...needs somthing moist on it ( or as they say in yorkshire "Got owt moist fer Th'steak?" ) and bloke that Haggis dont look right , looks too glossy or plastic...Mmmm Haggis should be in every tuba / euph players diet..food of the gods.

Among other topics. Now, where did I set my beer?

Then again, bloke, even a blind hog finds an acorn occasionally.

I thought she also played on a Rudy Meinl rotory horn, her "solo horn."

windshieldbug · Post by **windshieldbug** » Tue May 23, 2006 1:47 pm

From the sound of it, I doubt it matters *what* she's playing on...

quinterbourne · Post by **quinterbourne** » Tue May 23, 2006 1:54 pm

Yeah, no doubt that she'd sound awesome on anything.

Carol has certainly had the choice of many different model tubas made available to her. She won tubas as prizes in her victories at more than one of the competitions. The principals of the tuba manufacturers know her personally and have invited her to try (and perhaps officially endorse) their horns.

Carol is to be admired for sticking to the equipment with which she was most comfortable and not succombing to the "here's the latest tuba" game.
