question for any U Mass-Amherst tubists
I have a student who will be attending U-Mass in the Fall and he was told that there will be tubas available as loaners. He is curious as to the makes and models of these instruments (he's a BBb player). Any info. will be appreciated-feel free to PM me if you wish.

Re: question for any U Mass tubists
Which UMass? Amherst or Lowell? (or Dartmouth which doesn't really have a music program that I know of...) As far as I can tell, Lowell has 2 BBb tubas, I believe one is a Jupiter, and one is a Yamaha 621.
If you want to know about Amherst, well, I can't help ya. Sorry...
Go (UMass Lowell) Riverhawks!

Re: question for any U Mass-Amherst tubists
The studio at UMass has one CC one F and several BBb horns. One Conn 52J and there are many older Mirpahone 186's that have seen better days. There is also a Miraphone Petrushka. I'm not sure what professor Bottomley is planning to do in terms of loaning the CC or if anyone has claimed it for the fall.
