POLL (a real poll...NOT "April Fools")

[Three Valves]

It's CC I take it??

[tubacorbin]

I personally prefer to pull slides instead of lipping because I feel the notes resonate better. I'd welcome a tuning jigger on any of my tubas.

[Three Valves]

I'm just starting to appreciate how hi maintenance and finicky the CC world is.

I prefer my tuba, like my women.

Fewer moving parts and easier to play!!

You have two Neptunes, how about doing one of each?

That's quite a BAT farm you've got going there, Joe... be careful, it's springtime, once those things start to multiply, there's no stopping it.

[bisontuba]

Might there be a fundamental flaw that you see with the current large M/W and/or B&S large CC 'bugles' if they have similar intonation problems? The question is how would you redesign the bugles of these horns to improve the intonation problems--different tapers, asymmetrical bows, etc.?

You need a tuning valve which is always engaged (ie, open to it's slight extra tuning). Then you depress the valve (shorten the tuba) for the flat pitches.

The old bloke would never keep a tuba that required either.intonation snob

[TheHatTuba]

How about with a tone ring?

bloke "All I really collect is firewood."

So you're willingly admitting to having a collection of contrabassoons, alto clarinets, English horns, and violas?
