Stop freaking out about the stupid article about that euphonium player in England who played on a disgusting instrument; it was a rarity and an example of scare journalism.
It can't be fake news, I saw it on CNN!!

See contact info, below.
Be sure and let us know whether you're looking for a lip-buzzing (aka center fire) or lip-vibrating (aka rim fire) tuba.
No, ship the risky tubas it to me so that they can be disposed of properly. Of course, if I get too many tubas this way I will need assistance and will gladly send some your way for proper 'disposal'. Let me know if anyone needs my shipping address, I prefer to have large packages shipped to my office so that they don't sit on my doorstep while I'm at work.

If you ship them to me, I'll waive 1/2 of my usual hazardous material handling fee on the second tuba.

BBb only please.

This week only!!

I've heard that half the population of Europe was once killed by plague infested tubas.
Sure, that was before National Health!!

That used to be a fairly common practice among horn players, along with putting bits of match sticks in slides. WEIRD MOB THOSE HORNISTS - VERY WEIRD!
