My tuba is the very best. If you are interested it is for sale because I found that is better.

Mine is undoubtably the very best because IT HAS BEEN BLOKERIZED!

Hey Joe, Does that get me a discount on a blokepiece?

Notice that it is maintenance free!


"Beautiful brand new chrome-plated zero-maintenance sousaphone made of quality brass. Comes complete with mouthpiece. Don't expect a pro-grade instrument finish or Monel-grade valves, but for it's price this entry-grade instrument is an excellent value purchase. Designed primarily for the college and streetband market,, a beautiful piece, in a very impressive size. Classic traditional heavyweight 30 lbs SOLID BRASS instrument, not a fiber glass pass off of the real thing!"


All you repair guys had better start looking for another line of work it these catch on.

Is that video still up anywhere? I watched it before they pulled it. "Bee-bee tuba".

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the York CC #3 is widely heralded as the finest instrument ever made.

The best tuba is either the Berkeley or Vento tuba. I don't know which for sure because I've never played either one but did hear some guys in school say it and one of them wrote it online somewhere.

Hands down the shoulder-mounted Blokebazookaphone is the finest tuba made. Versatile in any genre of music. :twisted: :tuba: :tuba: :tuba:

Any tuba that comes with and requires you to wear white gloves to protect your hands from the finish. They are the best.

My horn is the best because it was once owned by some really famous pros who used it for some recordings.
