Old Eb tuba - another fix up candidate?

Post by Rev Rob »

I found this old Eb tuba on ebay. Again is this a worthy candidate for a restoration job?

This is being sold by a TubeNetter. Maybe he'll give you the scoop on it? Looks neat!

I figure that 231 was built in 1899
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
