I met Fred Marzan at Custom Music in Royal Oak Michigan in the Fall of 1970. I was a swtudent of Dr. John Upchurch at SUNY Potsdam and we drove there to try out tubas. A Shipment of Marzan tubas had just come in and Fred was there to try them out. I ended up buying a Marzan CC which I still use to this day and years later bought another Marzan which I still use. It is identical to the first and was in that same shipment, but with a detachable bell.
Before I purchased the tuba the group of us, including Fred, went to a buffet where he shared many stories of Bill Bell.
If you have any follow-up info, I would be interested.
Sincerely,
Kevin Ladd
