Horn Skank not dorn
Here is my nomination for the ugliest tuba known to man. Anyone else?
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I guess that equally applies to ugliness!
If it was repaired and cleaned up, I do not think that tuba is particularly ugly - unusual yes, but not ugly

Re: Horn Skank not dorn
Yeah. That horn apparently has seen a few pep rallies. In case no one recognized it, that's a Yamaha YBB-321. I was able to save it by replacing most of the knuckles. It's hard to believe but the valves were still in good shape.The Jackson wrote:.... It's good to know our youth today is getting exercise!
