Thanks for the link. (I haven't been looking at instruments on Ebay for a while in the fear that I will spend more money!) Now I'm even happier I have my B&M. I don't know if it plays better than the Barcone, but it sure looks better. And I am very happy with the way it plays.

Thank-you for the advice. I guess early next year I will take it to a competent repair shop in Pittsburgh to have the bell bolt assembly, the brace, and the tubing fixed. I'll probably have a cleaning, cork and felt replacement, etc. done on it at the same time. I figure that around February I will be allowed to spend money again. (Please don't assume my wife is a shrew, she is not. I've just waaaay overstapped my bounds this year in buying a new tuba and a used sousaphone. Besides, she says it actually sounds good some times when I play!)
