I'd have been tickled pink to have a 36K.

The damaged, worn, and leaky King had more than minor tuning quirks, and the mouthpiece I'd been led to use wasn't terribly appropriate for the horn.

I still remember the laughter at showing up to solo and ensemble contest with a plastic sousaphone. And I also remember taking home a first division every time I went.

But when we programmed Carmina Burana, that piece required more than I could deliver with that King. When my band director borrowed the Miraphone, life got much easier.
