Trying Tubas in Toronto or Erie, PA

Post by bobn »

I'll be in Erie, PA Tuesday-Friday and Toronto next weekend. Are there any stores with tubas in stock? In particular- I'm hoping to try some front action Eb's (983, 2141, Norwegian Star, etc...). I'd also try larger some F's if they had them.

Thanks,

Bob

Hey, Bob.

Don't think you'll have much luck with front-action EEb's in Erie, PA. Don't think you'll have any luck with F tubas, either. You'd probably have better luck in Toronto.

Hi-
Go West over to South Bend and Brasswind if you are near Erie, PA.

Long and McQuade is the only place in Toronto really.
They have some nice F tubas in stock for sure...don't know about Ebs though.
