Anyone lose a tuba on Greyhound lately?

Post by jimgray »

PM me if so.

I recently lost a case in shipping (they paid me).

They sent a picture to me of another case (presumably with a horn in it) that had recently been found.
It's a beat up wooden case w wheels on it and some numbers.

That's wild. I've shipped sousas in an SKB case via Greyhound a few times and never had an issue. Gonna ship one again soon and hope it all goes well...

I sure hope someone figures out it is theirs and you wonder how long it has been lost. I've seen at least one that disappeared literally years ago.

I think Mark Jones lost one on GH a while back.

I've already contacted him about it, and he is already on it. Not sure if this is his, but who knows. Whoever it belongs to (even for just the case!), I'd love to see them get it back.

And I doubt I'll ever send a tuba on the dog again.
