Couesnon not working so good any more?
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Favorite tuba that I've owned, my PT-18 MRP F Tuba. My dream horn, a Holton 345 CC. My favorite tuba I'm playing on a regular basis? Good ole Mack brass 410 CC. Saving up for the dream horn.

King 2341 New Style. Decent price for a retired guy, has a nice rich sound. BBb and below just have a gorgeous resonance and it sings in the upper register better than any other horn I have had the opportunity to play for any length of time. Euphonium springs make it fast and nimble with a light touch. Works well in all the venues I have had an opportunity to play in.
