"In DC this weekend?" I live here! Well, not actually in DC, but Ft Myer isn't in DC either.
I think the new stuff is a success. Still more work to do, but I know where I'm going with it. As for your questions, the TU series is the main tuba stuff. If and when I actually start making the XL series it will be bigger near the top of the cup where the rim and cup meet, which allows bigger rim sizes and gives a more open feel and better low range if you can handle it. I've only made a few in the past. Maybe I'll have XXL, XXXL, etc.
I haven't started making new rims yet, and I'm not sure what I'll be offering yet.
Shanks/backbores will not be the same as before.
I'm touring with a show and I won't have anything actually finished and available for sale until April most likely. If you see a show called "In the Mood" advertised in your area, call me and I'll see if I can get you tickets...
