It may not be of particular interest, but I thought I would post anyway. I called the Brook Mays Tubastore today, as I may be going to Dallas soon. I was advised by the low brass salesman that another company purchased all their CC and F tubas, and there are no apparent plans to aquire more as stock items. He also said there were a few BBbs around, but not many. The last of the tubas were being shipped out today. I remember there being negative threads about BM sales practices causing its demise, as well as hard times. Sure is funny though that Dillon's, Baltimore Brass, WWBW, and Low Brass Werks (and others) are still able to offer in-stock tubas in all keys at reasonable prices. My hat's off to them. It's a shame they aren't any closer to south Texas. I could spend a few hours getting ideas for a new purchase. The Tubastore has been on its deathbed for quite a while. May the Tubastore rest in peace.
