ITEC conference question
Do you know if you are able to buy tubas directly at ITEC? I will be probably making purchase there, but i need to know if it is just a showcase or if they actually have instruments you can buy.

Re: ITEC conference question
My understanding is it would need to be run through a dealer,several of which will be present.if not, it could be run through your home town buffet group dealer. I'm not a real authority on this question,but I think I'm right.

Re: ITEC conference question
Retailers who display there will and do sell tubas all day long as hard as they can. You can't go to the manufacturers booths and buy their display tubas, as bloke and Mike point out, but you can go to Baltimore Brass, Lee Stofer, Dillon, bloke, and probably others I'm not thinking of. They'd be very disappointed if some people didn't.
