M-W 5450 experimentation

[Steve Marcus]

Not switching the main tuning slide, but (if I understand this correctly) Will Druitt created his so-called 5450WD by having the throat and bell from a 6450 installed onto his Thor.

What would you hope to achieve?

Experiments generally have a goal/hypothesis.

I think this fits into the class of experiments that start with "here, hold my beer, I want to try something...."

[Mitch]

Okay, I'm a little curious.

Rather than one person carrying the cost of the experiment, are there any other Thor owners out there who'd be interested in sharing the cost?

[Ferguson]

Is this the part where I get to say, "You should try a Big Mouth Brass tuba, they are way better than a Thor for much less money?"


(Or was that the other thread?)

Indeed, they should.'
