A sousaphone and an appropriate venue in which to play it.

Doc,

You had your chance. Unless you were the recent purchaser of this horn, someone else now owns the rights to ... whatever they want to do with that tuba.

I had the opportunity to play that Martin/Gnagey tuba briefly. While it takes some getting used to, it certainly is capable of everything that its seller claimed.

I agree. I got to play one a couple of years ago, and if I were 25 years younger, I'd have gotten it right then and there. It worked best for me with a PT82 mouthpiece.
