Horn Skank not dorn

Post by tbn.al »

Here is my nomination for the ugliest tuba known to man. Anyone else?

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I guess that equally applies to ugliness!

If it was repaired and cleaned up, I do not think that tuba is particularly ugly - unusual yes, but not ugly :wink:

Yeah. That horn apparently has seen a few pep rallies. In case no one recognized it, that's a Yamaha YBB-321. I was able to save it by replacing most of the knuckles. It's hard to believe but the valves were still in good shape.
