Post by Tim Olt »

Greetings all,

The first question asked what the word tuba meant in Latin. The second question asked which composer had specially-designed tubas for his "Ring Cycle."

I was disappointed to see that only two of the questions were picked, but rather pleasantly surprised nonetheless to see an entire category devoted to the tuba.

Maybe the other 3 clues will come back in a "potpourri" column or something. The writers don't let anything go to waste.
Gnagey CC, VMI Neptune 4098 CC, Mirafone 184-5U CC and 56 Bb, Besson 983 EEb and euphonium, King marching baritone, Alexander 163 BBb, Conn 71H/112H bass trombone, Olds Recording tenor trombone.

I saw this also. ...totally bummed that they ran out of time.

I was hoping for :
- The mouthpiece that gives the best tone on a Miraphone 186.
- The coating applied to the surface of brass horns that brightens the tone.
- The large bolts applied to the bottom of valves that has profound improvements on tone.
beta 14??..........OK!
