Hey - it's on the way!

I've got a couple old didges and a busted up bassoon and a very rustic trombone bell in the parts bin which should make a good ole blowable wall decoration.

Now joe, after all the work I went to to you get you up to the multitudinous kiloreply level with your post about how tubas were hated; are you now saying they were not so bad after all?

I could become manickiniquely depressed about having been so tubally dedisilloussillionsed!

HELP, DP, put an end to all this - bring on the beer girls.

The true cimbasso is a weird-*** instrument, likely because it was invented by italians.

Those clever Italians then immediately named it after another country to confuse us all, the Russian Bassoon!
