well, regardless of key my guess is that is it a FLAT-ulent model.

Uh, I'm guessing Bb. Unless you're asking about the cymbal...

Oh, no! Now we have to start a discussion on how to FLUSH a tuba. This raises the question as to what type of handle works best. Is it piston or rotary? This boggles the mind. I think I'll go and ponder this some more. And will it be silver or lacquer? Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

They could have at least put the music right-way up!
(the protective rug IS a nice touch, though)

The miss'us points out that 1) I couldn't leave the seat up, and 2) it would be a "rude awakening" on a cold morning.

Would this qualify as the bidet model?

Unless you have a mop handy, DON'T OPEN THE SPIT VALVE!

They're selling that for proceeds benefitting forwardmarch.org, who says on their own site, "The Forward March Foundation is a non-profit organization being formed to benefit the arts, specifically school and community bands, marching bands, drum corps and other instrumental music and/or marching groups. We are located in NE Ohio, but plan activities across the state and across the country."

Hmm, interesting; they also want to build a stadium complex specifically for marching shows. For the record, domes suck, especially small ones, and they probably don't have enough seating in their drawings. But, at least they claim to be putting up the effort.

On this model wouldn't that be a s*it valve?

Better have nothing more than "typical dents and dings but nothing that affects intonation"

and please not short strokeing your valves!

Reminds me of a joke my brother told me a few years ago. The joke wasn't that funny, but the punch line was OK: "Hillary, I found out who peed in the saxaphone!"

Maybe somebody can come up with a better joke for the punch line.

Well, that narrows it down to anyone who's ever heard a saxaphone...

Or maybe this is what you need if you have 16th-note runs?

I'm sure it's been piston (or in) at some time, no matter what kind of valves it has ...

So the drunk walks into the bar for lunch Saturday, goes back to the bathroom, comes back out, and asks the bartender, "Hey! Where'ss theh golden uri-nal that you had here lasht night?"

Bartender says, "Well, we don't HAVE a 'golden urinal', as you say... never did, either... but the sax player was really stinkin' mad at you!"

lady: Hey Harry! I found the guy who CRAPPED in your TUBA!!!
