IT IS SOLD. With a wistful glance, I took one last look as he gently closed the lid . .

I still have the memories. And I know that my first euphonium will have a good new home.

Congratulations, turtleum. May it bring you and those who hear it much joy. Sob . . . Sob. . .

Thanks also to bagman Joel.

Finally, thanks to the resta yooz for you interest and comments, pithy and otherwise. May your Christmas be merry and your new year sonorous.

I had an uncle buy my aunt a CB radio for a gift once... We all thought it was funny but she wasn't amused! A euphonium would have been a better choice...

No, the CB was actually for my uncle... Guess he couldm't think of anything else to get her. This was more than 20 yrs ago... A sign of the times??? I think not, just a strange uncle!

She always commented how much more fun the tuba events were comared to the flute events and that the tuba/euph players were a much better bunch (says a lot about "fluties"!). One day at a tuba event she says, "I think I'd like to have a euphonium of my own". So I bought her one. She was happy, so it could work...

Does she have any sisters????

Flute players & tuba players go together like peanut butter & jelly...

Search the archives, we've discussed this before. Tubas & flutes were meant to be together... For some reason!
