Thanks, Kevin
I probably was incorrect when I said 1/2 tuba...maybe a 1/2 tuba is,
strictly speaking, a euphonium. But this thing was tiny, and I mean
tiny. It definitely was a BBb tuba, though, because I tried it. Maybe
it was a very small 3/4. (I have heard that one company's 4/4 horn may
actually be smaller than another's 3/4.)
I'm a BBb player all the way, and I was just hoping to find a new horn
this small and light because I really have to be careful how much I
lift due to a back injury.
