new digs for tubanurse

Post by Sam Gnagey »

:tuba: We've moved our shop to a new location near Auburn, IN about 20 miles north of Fort Wayne. It's very easy to get to from I-69 and about 20 miles closer to I-80. It will take us a few weeks to get the shop up and running, but we're happy to see visitors now. Just write me an email or call 260 414 6830 to set up a visit. You can sort of take a virtual tour of the new place at the former owners' website

My new email address is tubanurse(at)yahoo.com.
Lest I forget to mention: Deb (you may have met her at our tables at the Denver and Cincinnati ITECS) are now husband and wife. Yooohooo!

I got to be one of Sam's first Tuba-visitors a couple of weeks ago. . . it is a truly beautiful set up he and Deb have out there!

Anyone interested in a 6/4 CC needs to drive out to Auburn and check out Sam's latest creation. The sound and pitch were solid, but what got me the most was the shorter valve throw. . . you don't have to be a gorilla or get tendinitis to play a big horn anymore!

Thanks for the sousa bell, Sam; the Po'Boys and my back agree that it was the right choice! :mrgreen:

Cool! Hoping that this stays an integral part of the property's history:
