Re: considering becoming the next Jinboa vanity-brand import
I'd buy a 188-copy D tuba. Get to work on that project, Joe. If anybody can do it, you and JinBao can make it work. Just leave off the D rings and lyre holder.

Joe... I don't really care what you name it or what it looks like as long as I'm satisfied with the 'internals'. Send me one of the valve sections first. Once I approve it... I'll return it and you can have them build a 'copy' of whatever around it.
I made a scale model 'copy' of a Boeing B-52 once but it wouldn't fly.

With that brand name, a natural side product would be an audio demonstration of key excerpts from Prokofiev and Respighi showing new young tuba shoppers the correct way to try a tuba while letting everyone within a half-mile hear their world class sound.

Have Jimbo make a raincatcher for you and call it the Bloke-a-phone.

I would consider buying a horn with a superman shield on the bell. Seriously consider.

Re: considering becoming the next Jinboa vanity-brand import
You will undermine the "bloke" brand value if you overuse it. And you want to give the impression that someone besides you is actually employed by the company (other than Mrs. Bloke, of course, but she might be more "employer" than "employee").
