I actually admire those of you who can accomplish this

The band director (RIP) sent those sousas off to "the Midwest" (probably Borodi Music?) to be overhauled during the summer, right before my freshman year of high school. "Dan the fix-it man" was just a local guy doing repairs on-the-spot for the school. The local repair guy in town (who was really good, and has since moved his way up in a well-known music company) stated that Dan brought in many repairs to him because he basically f*cked up those repairsbloke wrote:If he was the one who did the overhauls, I bet (trying to get the old concrete/asphalt scratches out of the bottom bow) it was HIM who buffed the CRAP out of that second branch (resulting in wall thickness similar to that found with the current-era King/Conn sousaphones)...so - in reality - it was HIS d@mn fault.
