Dick stopped by this afternoon and Don and I each bought a Gemeinhardt silver F tuba--I think I have died and gone to F Tuba Heaven--both horns were so similar it didn't matter which horn was chosen.
Having the horn here at home and 'burning the midnight valve oil' while playing it 'till I drop' makes me realize how great these tubas are. A huge thank you to Dick for making the side trip to deliver the tubas.
Regards-
Mark 'one very, very happy tuba player tonight!!'
