CC is the absolute WRONG place to post this kind of stuff, but oh well.
I have my Mirafon 184 listed on Ebay. Go ahead and take a look. It won't hurt you. :rotf:

Amazing, thank you for the history of an over looked item in a band.
I have never known anyone that had a Yen to play the TUBA. This instrument is very large and seldom given a solo.
However, you have opened my eyes to the importance of the Tuba in music. I would like to compare a piece of music with the Tuba and the same thing with the Tuba missing-----this could become an educationfor all of us.

Vesta, I never had a yen to play tuba - the only reason I'm doing so now is because there's nobody around here that plays one worth a damn, so I took it upon myself to give it a shot. It's a PITA to drag around, it's heavy, it collects dents, and it's difficult to hold on to. You sit in the back of the ensemble with a bunch of other knuckle-draggers and I can tell you, the amount of water that the horn collects and that has to be dumped out of the water keys could fill a small pond. The viola players are always disgusted by that.
Say.....I think we're on to something here. :rotf:
Vesta, I'm a euphonium player that went bad last October when I started playing tuba. It wasn't enough that I play the baby tuba (euphonium), I had to go out and get his big brother.
My turn to be disgusted. :lmao:

I was thinking that you just bought this.... :uhsure:

FIFY......... "water keys" :whatever:

You damned knuckledragger - you haven't quite figured out that you're dumping WATER out of your horn rather than SPIT?!?
Waitaminute---doh!
You gotta blow INTO the damned thing, not SPIT IN IT!!!!!!!eleventy!!!!! :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

That ain't JUST moisture from one's lungs coming out of that thing....... :hammer: :hammer: :tongue: :rotf: :rotf:

Well, I was very interested in it until I pulled it up. Sorry Euph but my kid is left handed and that is clearly a right handed instrument.
That ends all the knowledge I have of those instruments.
If you do happen to run across one that is left handed though ..... I haven't found one yet.

Yeah, back in November. It's for sale.
I bought a new tuba in May. It's much more to my liking. I could give you all kinds of detail, but you're probably not interested. :yawn: :evillaugh:

I've known left-handed conductors, but I've never known a left-handed tuba player. And I've never seen a left-handed tuba, either. I've seen left-handed trombone players, but that's a simple 180 deg. shift in attaching the bell section to the slide section.
If your kid intends to play tuba, he might need to get right-handed about it. Either that or play French horn. It comes automatically left-handed.

So, Tuba makers intentionally build tubas for only the right handed kids? Really??
Oh, I was just pulling your slide, by the way.
:-)
One of mine is a saxomophone player and the other a percussionist.

Thank God. I was worried about your kid. What does he do when he's got a pair of scissors to negotiate? :p

use scissors specifically made for lefties...

That'd work fine if the trombone didn't have an F attachment or better...... (e.g.: a plain old trombone)
Wanna bet? :evillaugh:
Wanna drink the "moisture" that originates from MY spit valve?? :evillaugh: :mental: :fuelfire: :tongue:

Not many kids play a horn with an F attachment, unless they've got parents who are loaded.

Who said anything about drinking anything? We're talking about leaving puddles on the floor enough to gross out the viola players!!!!!
Damned paint-chippers. :asssmack: I think they sometimes eat the stuff they're supposed to chip away.....

MY grandma was far from "loaded". She bought my horns for me (twice; first one was a Conn student line, then the Bach)
It's not terribly difficult to gross out those stringed instrument players.....:stirpot:

Your grandma was a kind soul - but I'll bet your horns didn't have an F attachment.
True story -- warming up on a New Year's Eve gig when Mrs E came tripping back to the knuckle-dragger's section where we all had a small pond forming. She fled from the scene and didn't see hide nor hair of her till the gig was over. :lmao:

You saw one that I had and it has an F attachment. Yep, my Grandma bought it for me !! :-) I've had that horn since 1972
Ohhhh and.......... :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: @ Mrs E. (Stringed instrument musicians are a step below woodwinds......IMO) :fuelfire:

Oh, that's right. Sorry, it slipped my mind. The Bach. The other, an Olds or a Reynolds, is the classic peashooter with tuning in the hand slide.
