So, I�m back with a couple more things that have been tickling at my brain. I�m gonna try and organize this, though it may end up looking a little anal retentive.
1) What is the resale value like on tubas. If I spend $8000 today will it be worth $4000 tomorrow?
2) Hirsbrunner-Why do they make so many models of CC tubas? Why don�t the model numbers on their website match up with the ones on Custom Music�s and the ones you guys generally talk about? Are they handmade? I have heard it said both ways (mostly over the Yorkbrunner).
3) Tuba to tuba quality�How often are �lemons� made by companies like B&S, Mirafone, et cetera? I would assume that no lemons are made by companies that hand build their tubas.

P.S. Aren't tuba players the best people in the whole world?
