I bought my first euphonium in the seventh grade, paid for it myself by mowing lawns, delivering the newspaper and babysitting. $235 in 1962 was about the same as a used
tuba would cost today, in today's dollars. The music dealer was happy to sell it to me for $25 a month until it was paid off. I learned a lot about self-reliance from that purchase. I also learned about taking proper care of a musical instrument.
