What Kind of Car is Your Horn?

I thought of this the other day and I cant get the idea out of my head, so I thought I would post it. (Just for fun)

My FrankenTuba "TubaCzar" is definitely a 1927 Model T Ford Hot Rod.

Alexander 163 = old Cadillac. It's like riding in a big luxury car that has been well used but still runs good. Extremely comfortable, but has quirks- no seatbelts (difficult fingerings), kind of like having a manual transmission. Classy and big, but not over the top like a lifted diesel F950 (that's never seen the mud) or Hummer.

Meinl Weston 45k = An off road go-kart or heavily modified Jeep. It goes everywhere and is fast, very easy to drive but not particularly large.

There was a similar thread a while back.....
A Martin tuba = a Packard.

My Holton? A '29 Packard Standard Eight.

Ask the man who owns one.

Have the Swiss ever made a car?

The swiss Yodeller looked nice but went nowhere - always stuck in nuetral.

I'm thinking the Wisemann 900 to be like the Chinese Land Rover Evoque Copy, the Land Wind.

Oddly enough, I have always use the Packard to explain to the none musical person what my York is like in the tuba world. Big, lush, and old. Most of them understand. Now what do we use to explain it to the young kids who do not know or care about cars?

1989 Yamaha XT500 - all purpose motorcycle big enough for an intermediate but not quite professional.
1938 Ford pick-up. Not restored but made complete in running condition with used parts.
1927 Willys - unrestored sitting in an old fallen down barn under hay
1930 Ford Model A - spare parts stored in baggies since 1940 and made playable again in 2015

The 20J would be a 1977 Lincoln Town Car, Big, beautiful and comfortable.

Someone asked if the Swiss made cars. The ones they make now would be appropriate analogs if Peter Hirsbrunner built a pocket tuba. In the hopes that such never occurs, let me refer back to the deeps of time:

The Monteverdi (as in Peter Monteverdi) had a (heavy) German frame, a pretty aluminum Frua body, and a Chrysler 440 V8. With that engine, I'll analogize that one with my Hirsbrunner 193 kaiser.

The Holton? Easy:

(Bridge to engine room! Bridge to engine room! All ahead FULL!)

The B&S? Nothing made in the Second World automotive industry got it right the way B&S got it right. There is no automotive analog.

The Yamaha 621 F tuba:

The Datsun 2000 emerged from Japan's prior love affair with British cars, and the 621 is rather British in concept. In addition, of course, to being small, nimble, and quick. And, it must be said, without the propensity to fail at inopportune moments. But you cannot move furniture with it.
