Hi all,
We've been piecing together more of the history behind the Harvard tuba and Big Carl. For about 100 years, those two giant tubas were spectacles (consecutively) in the street-level windows of the Carl Fischer store on Cooper Square.
Here's the link if you'd like to read more about it: https://tubapastor.blogspot.com/2019/03 ... -bass.html
Enjoy!
How much is that giant tuba in the window?!
