How strange.  Why wouldn't tubists have solos on hand?  I think that everyone does.  You think that tubists don't?  Why would it be so unusual that tubists also wouldn't know their scales?  I think that it is quite ordinary.  As a qualifier for asking about instruments and mouthpieces, however, I think you're all washed up.  Even beginners who have never touched a horn, and perhaps MORE the beginners than any others should ask these questions.  According to an instrument repairman I know, nickel plated instruments usually hold up better in the long run than other instruments.  When I was just starting out, I needed help choosing a mouthpiece.  This board is here for tubists from beginner to professionals, am I right?
