Yeah, yeah, I know BW is in S. Bend, IN. I posted that at midnight, or later, the night before we left, anybody familiar with that scenario? The human brain seems to function differently in the wee hours of the morning.

Anyway, we had a great trip. I went with F tubas in mind, particularly the used F's they had. I was very impressed with the facilities and, contrary to popular belief, they had everything they said, plus some. On the website they had a used 45 and a 46 Meinl Weston F. That was what had me interested. To my surprise, they weren't MW's at all! They were Rudolph Meinl tubas! I tried the new MW 45 they had and liked it, BUT I liked the Rudy Meinl better. I tried most of the CC's as well and had some surprises trying the different makes and models.

Mike Russo was a great help, very friendly and great to deal with.
