I believe I was -- very briefly -- the previous owner of that one, before Norm. It is indeed both giant and shiny. I think it was stored in a closet for most of its life. If you want a 36J, you'd be very lucky to find a nicer one.

Sam Gnagey's horns go for just as much as some new tubas.
But Sam has a better product and has seemingly better experience at doing a frankenhorn correct which i cant say i know about this gentleman. They are Very tricky, i know first hand at how complicated the build is.
So, on the one hand this product is inferior and should be sold for much less, but on the other hand you admit you don't know about it. Which is it????

But anyway, on the *other* other hand, Norm is a standup guy and if you want one of his tubas, you won't be sorry you dealt with him.
