new word coined

[imperialbari]

And even after getting your nextuba you always need the installation of the universal solution to any tuba related problem, the VLTADS,

PS: You don’t get VLTADS? Please check your acronym acrobatics! It is just so obvious: Very Long Trigger Assembly Doubly Sprung!

I can't seem to make it work out as an acronym for "ask your teacher," Klaus.

What about ol'tuba?

[JHardisk]

After BAT, dentbag, TFJ, et al, here is the latest addition:

nextuba - noun - ˈneks-tü-bə - 1. a tendency of tuba players with funding resources to scamper to the newest, latest model of tuba, which typically will realize a .0005% improvement in one category and - on average - a 4.2% decline in other characteristics

Interesting article by Craig.

In the UK the tendency seems to more be for the majority of players to stick with the ubiquitous 3+1 compensated Eb (with 24AW, or Dennis Wick mouthpiece) and not experiment with equipment. I often wonder when listening to concerts if the tuba player could sound better with other equipment? Don't get me wrong, the compensated Eb is a really excellent versatile instrument, but I don't think it necessarily the best for everything, or everybody.

For myself, I have receive far more compliments (from conductors, other musicians and audience) since I have been playing my Neptune CC and PT-15 F than I ever used to on my one time Besson 981 Eb. I feel I have now found the equipment to match myself.

One can seem to be chasing new equipment in a 'nextuba' manner while trying to find the right match, but much like dating the other sex, hopefully you will eventually find your 'perfect' match - and then that is the time to settle and be satisfied

BLOKESTORATIONS works just as well. Or if you had some custom work done on your tuba by bloke, you could say: "I had my tuba 'Blokesterized'".

[Tubajug]

After BAT, dentbag, TFJ,

I know about BAT and dentbag, I've seen TFJ, but what does that one stand for? My acronym decifering skills aren't the greatest.
