I don't know if I would have said exactly what you said, but I can't find much to disagree with.

I particularly agree that his (in latter years heavily-buffed) super-resonant York tuba gave him the loudness that he needed without the air that some tubas require in order to achieve equal loudness. I have said many times that the York CC tuba is a "specialty" tuba. It was originally ordered as a "specialty" tuba, and the York Company obviously didn't get any subsequent orders for them (perhaps a casual inquiry or two, but no cash orders) because they only made two.

I notice that Dr Ray is not a frequent poster. Probably, he follows his own advice and is a frequent practicer.
