"Playing the pocket tuba"

The lawn around my apartment has been in a near perpetual swamp state since I moved last April. Needless to say, the humid climate has put me in a near-perpetual state of sinus congestion. I find myself blowing my nose more than ever, and it seems to be surprisingly loud. Therefore, I have decided to coin the term "playing the pocket tuba"Â© to describe it.

Does this mean that there will soon be a spate of Indian Pocket Tubas flooding the market, complete with Neilanâ„¢ engraving?

Lacquer or silver?

Either way, the price is reasonable, but bend over for the shipping!

Judging from the results, I would have to say lacquer (with the occasional redbrass.)

Mine is (are) definitely large shank.

FWIW, the projection is outstanding but it does tend to break up when overblown.

Circular breathing AND multiphonics. What's not to love?
