(mods - If there is some way to "Sticky" this it would be great...)
I have been collecting quite a lot of tuba related knick-knacks and kitsch (in picture form or actual items) over the years and would like to share... I will post new ones at random intervals and if you have some, please upload them! I will try to provide information, but that might not be too easy. Three Dimensional items preferably. (Mine are not for sale )

Let it roll a bit longer with the general title - a lot of folks are probably on the road or doing other things, but that will change.
(I really want to see some postings from Eli Newberger - this photo of him has a case full of tuba stuff!)
You can see it by clicking "larger image" in the 2nd photo in the left column on this page: http://www.elinewberger.com/about.html" target="_blank
By the way - does anybody know exactly how to post a picture here without the scroll bar? is there some particular size limit or other coding trick to display the whole image, or is it just file size limitation? I didn't see anything in the FAQs about this.

Keep the images (or simply resize them to) 300px X 300px or smaller to avoid the dreaded scroll bars. All graphics manipulation programs have simply "resize" functions in their EDIT menus, and most allow you to specify one dimension and will change the other automatically to keep the proportions the same. Just make the larger of the two values 300 and you'll be fine.
P.S. I still vote for "David Richoux's Tuba Kitsch!"

The horns are carved - the whole from solid block of wood by the look of it. I bought the tuba one year, then the curved bariton (I guess that's what it is) the next. They had a variety of instruments. At a cost it would be possible to buy a whole wooden band
