What's YOUR dream tuba collection (Christmas time!)?

[Nick Pierce]

All of them!!!

World peace, an end to hunger, respect for human rights...

[Davy]

World peace, an end to hunger, respect for human rights...

Defiantly high on my list. Music-wise, however....

1.) Some sort of 4/4-5/4 CC tuba. Maybe a Silver B&S PT-6P?
2.) Large bore tenor trombone with F attachment (Conn 88H-O)
3.) For Chamber Music, a Yamaha YCB-621.
4.) A nice Euphonium
5.) A Contra-bass Trombone

and of course....

5.) Space to keep them all, and to expand

[tbn.al]

One more horn. A 3/4 BBb light enough for me to schelp around when I get old, as in now, but with wonderful response, intonation, and a colorful sound.

[Wyvern]

I already have all I want for my playing, with maybe the addition of a light CC (Piggy?).

However for fantasy additional tubas if I win the lottery (in no particular order);

- hand-made Fafner in gold brass
- CC Helicon
- M-W small travelling F
- Alexander 163 CC
- Melton 144/5 Kaiser Baritone (oval)
- Haag Cimbasso

[Dylan King]

I'm very blessed and happy to already have my "dream" horns...



Yamaha YBL-622 Doug Yeo Bass Trombone
Yamaha YTR-8335 Bb Trumpet
Hirsbrunner Grand Orchestral CC Tuba
Yamaha YFB-622 F Tuba

Why do "Christmas time" and the tenth commandment appear to conflict with each other so easily, when Christ Himself says "But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.” (Matt 19:17)? Hmm...

[The Big Ben]

I'd like a new tuba. Period.

A Piggy CC or a Piglet CC would be good.

Or a Norwegian Star.

Or a 3/4 BBb- not sure which one. Leaning to the "BBb Piggy" or the Jupiter 482

Or a BBb Helicon. A new Cerveny or a vintage horn. Perhaps a CC Blokeophone?

Or a quality, restored vintage horn. Perhaps a monster Eb or a really early Conn of some sort.

Can I have more than one?

[Toad Away]

Not dreamin' of a lot,
just a 4-valve Gnagy so I can have a piston-sister
for my sweet Cerveny 'piglet'.

Merry Christmas to all !!

Q: "Recent polls have shown that 1/5 of Americans can't locate the US on a map. Why do you think that is?"
A: "I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation dont have maps and that I believe our education like such as South Africa and the Iraq, and everywhere, such as, and I believe that they should our education over here in the US, should help the US, or should help South Africa and help the Iraq and the Asian countries so that we will be able to build out our future for us"

[oedipoes]

I think I'd go christmas shopping for:

5/4 Rudolf meinl BBb Bayreuth Model
Willson 3100 FA-5

oh, yes, and some Conn 38K satin silver sousaphone please

[bort]

Reasonable version:
CC: tubawallace's Nirschl 4/4
F: MW-45SLP
Euph: the Mirafone 1258 that dtemp is selling

"Yeah right" version:
Take a month(s?)-long trip to Germany to tour the major tuba factories and hand-pick my own tubas: 6/4 CC, 4/4 CC, an F, and a Euph. Maybe a few custom requests too for "non-standard" options (like a silver-plated Miraphone 188?)

Are you implying she isn't a brain? I, for one, don't find that the least bit objectionable. Call me crazy, if you wish(and I know someone probably will).

[dmmorris]

I don't really need another tuba. I once had 4, down to 2 and quite happy......but if Santa is really asking....I'd like a Sam Gnagey York-bell'd-King-o-phone in BBb with an easily adjustable 1st valve slide. I miss the ol' 60's & 70's King 2431s, but hated that detachable bell.

[OldsRecording]

Just dreaming-
Yamaha YEP-842s euph (or mid '70's vintage Sovereign)
King 2341 BBb (or Mira 186 or MW 25)
Muramatsu DS flute with the heavy wall option and the Tsubasa head joint (although I'd settle for a Gemeinhardt KGM)

[bort]

I'd trade 'em all for Jake's York...

Nah, not me. I'd like to try it sometime in my life...but I would never want to own it. It belongs in the hands of a far more capable player than myself.

This was a dream...right?

Heh, well make part of the dream being the tubist for the CSO, and then I'll take it.

[tubatom91]

I Think this is my list:
1) A larger F tuba (5/4 or 6/4). The bigger one should hold it's own in a band when I feel too lazy to bring my CC.
2) A 6/4 CC horn, whatever brand, as long as it plays great. For Orchestra.
3) A Bag full of mouthpieces
4) The Conn grand Orchestral 6/4 BBb that is on Dillon's. It looks like way too much fun!
5) A college scholarship would be nice to .

[Tubaguyry]

1. PT6-P
2. Norwegian Star
3. Firebird
4. 6450/2
5. BE968 euphonium
6. A heapin' pile o' music!
7. One of each PT mouthpiece

Thanks, Santa!

[Ken]

Dear Santa.

Please bring me a 6/4 CC Neptune.

Oh, never mind. I have one.
