I remember, about six years ago, when a giddy high school player at a well-known northern mid-western arts boarding school was looking at one of those old dreadful Kurath-made "Perantucci" F tubas.
He was excited about the prospect of buying it because
1/ It was silver plated.
2/ It was being offered for sale by a fairly high-profile short-of-stature tuba-teacher guy who now resides in the desert southwest.
3/ It was the first F tuba he had ever played.
The only advice that I could offer was, "You should not buy this tuba."
