Hi TubeNet,
I've created a blog. I hope to talk about all things tuba, and hopefully even post some new music from my composer friends on here eventually.
Here's the site:
tubarachel.blogspot.com
Bookmark it and check back regularly....
Have a lovely rest of your day.

Gave the link a more useable format.
Didn’t see that many photos but for the avatar and the undercut.
Really liked the VW excerpt. Sounded so good that one almost forgot it is a rotary horn.

Uh yeah... Despite it being a rotary horn? Maybe it would have sounded better on a 3-valve, bell-front clunker? I don't understand that point whatsoever. I'm very curious what you meant?
Fabulous control Rachel! I could listen to you play all day.

Someone on the YouTube video of The Ride said that Conn hasn't made a good horn since the 1930's, and then I asked him if he could lend me some cash for a new horn, haha.

SOMEONE is wrong...
I love those 52J/54J/56J Tubas. Why? Because they are cut down King 2341's! (sort of...)
