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

Just wondering... do other brass players make frankenhorns like this, or is this practice just a tuba thing?

I've put together some pretty strange stuff for trumpet players. Those guys are nuttier than a fruitcake!

Lessee--trombone players routinely pair their favorite slide with their (different) favorite bell. Horn players must trade bells like marbles, if even non-equipment-freaks like Mary Ann have done it. Trumpet players, well, you know.

So, I would have to say the answer is yes.
