Re: Update Update
Relaxing after a 4th of the July parade in Red Lodge - we rode and played on a flat bed trailer. Then had some ribs and beer. The dog is enjoying the bones. 
Beginning again to be a tuba player.

- Many available on the used market
- Relatively inexpensive
- Decades since production
- Delivers a lot of sound
- Difficult to find original parts
- Many variants in circulation (some worth much more than others)
The 20J is the Mosin-Nagant of tubas!

Re: Update Update
Almost broke my arm patting myself on the back. Just fixed my ailing Samsung TV for $2.34 worth of capacitors and an hour of my time. Techie wanted $300. New circuit board from Samsung $147. It used to take up to an hour to finally start after turning it on. Now it's first time everytime!

I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

I don't have any money. Would you trade it for a 3-valve Eb tuba?
