I appreciate the pictures. It's a kind of tribute to a horn Tabor is very wisely appreciating again in a new way. D**n I wish I had kept mine. Dumb dumb dumb to sell it.

Thanks for posting, Tabor.

Were both of those tubas at Connecticut's TubaChristmas in Old Saybrook yesterday?
If not, it must have been their twins. I was allowed to honk on the Conn, and really liked it.
