Al has been in touch and has paid Wessex Tubas to supply two more horns to customers which they have now received.

Despite suffering a whole series of bad luck (most recently injury from car running into the back of him), he does seem to be doing his best to fulfil outstanding orders as his finances allow.

Oh, that's good news (well, not the getting hit by a car part...). Thanks!

Has anyone heard from Al recently? I've been tied up in this for far too long, and his last communication with me was on Jan 1. I sort of feel bad dredging up old posts, but I am hoping someone has more information than I do. I was told in November that I am the #1 priority for compensation and in January that he's close to closing out his debt to me, but at this rate I feel like that's a straight lie. Someone want to convince me otherwise?

Missouri, yes. Thank you. I did manage to successfully run my tests. The compilation of the research will be happening over the summer. Having money tied up in a horn that never arrived certainly didn't help.

Kiltie, thanks. Hopefully someone has heard SOMEthing.

The last time Al sent me funds to supply outstanding order was last November. I can hardly believe how many outstanding orders he had at the time Big Bottom went under. Every time I think that must be it, another unfortunate customer comes to light!

Chris, let me know what Al owes you and I will try my best to get sufficient payment from him to cover cost to supply.

BTW Al has assured me he will never return to the business of selling tubas.

Is this guy a scammer? At least he is leaving the business.
You are coming late to the party. Read the thread from the beginning and you can get an idea of what has been going on.

Maybe to much to ask from Dolores Pain.

I sent you a PM when you twice advised people in the for sale forum to buy from Big Bottom Music you even included a link to the website.
I find it odd that after some one has advised you of the mistake you were making you still have no knowledge of the company you were happy to recommend. :shock:

Hello Bryan the owner of Big Bottom Music used to post here as Tubaforce IIRC a search of Al Triplett will also yield a wealth of posts. He has unfortunately had a lot of trouble that resulted in a lot of undelievered instruments and to the best of my knowledge is no longer trading and should not trade unless he has made good on the missing horns. Your link appears to be to a cached version of his Website how did it come to your attention? Regards Noel
Cant carry a tune but I can carry a tuba.
