Blueba?

[TheHatTuba]

Is the blue on Mr. Sheridan's 983 spray paint, tinted lacquer or something else?

Not sure about the coloration and such but isn't that his Jupiter Eb prototype?

I may be wrong, but that might be his Besson 983 Eb. The design of the valve set-up and the tubing looks exactly like the 983.

It could be. Mr. Sheridan told my instructor it should be coming out this summer

the jupiter eb i played at the 2009 midwest seemed to be a copy of the besson. the rep told me pat never liked the valve angle but besson wouldnt change it. that and some other things will be different on the production horn. there is an f on the table as well.

On this video at 0:59 you can see the bell engraving.

Why is TN so blind to the obvious?

Mr. Pat Sheridan plays one of Mr. Brian Goodgig’s semitransparent plastic prototypes. Almost ready for production, only they didn’t get the water keys right yet.

Here is another interesting part, in about 18-19 seconds in this clip, you can see the blue inside the bell......

I actually got the chance to meet Pat Sheridan at the University of Central Arkansas last year, and I asked him about what gives off the blue on his "blueba". It's colored lacquer. Nothing more. Pretty sweet-looking if I do say so myself.

Cheers!
