heh. borrowed that specifically for this pic....it is a kiddie chair :D

and BTW that is a euph mpc, 6 1/2 AL IIRC. Couldn't find a way to make the paddles look smaller though.

I figure a pic of me with a 6/4 BBb and Bob1062 with a 3/4 Eb ought to be the epitome of a Mutt and Jeff scenario. Most people would accuse a "straight" pic of being photoshopped, for that combo, especially if we could do it with tubas of very simlar wrap.

You almost stole my line:

Do euphs come in Eb now?

For a guy born in 1062 he looks pretty young and stoned. Only musicians would know that the stoned part comes from reading music placed uncomfortably for the eyes.

Anyone else with those horns like to post pics for size comparisons?

This seems to be a picture of a 2165 next to a 182. Some of the routing seems different on the 182, so this may have been a prototype.

Is that a rotary 2165?

Sure seems to be (I hadn't even noticed!). The picture's tag is "2165Z", so it musta been a 'black project'. :lol:

Here's the source of the picture : http://www.melton.de/blech/182.htm" target="_blank

The bell on that one seems to flare out more quickly (i.e., less of a "stovepipe" look) and so I wonder.
