Hi
I have recently become bitten by the tuba bug, and find myself looking at all kinds of tuba for sale, on the net mostly. I am always amazed at all the different horns for sale. There are certainly more manufacturers past and present than I can keep track of. I am beginning to wonder how many tubas are made in a year, anyway? Thousands? Tens of thousands? As a corrolary, how many tubists are out there? What is the average useful lifespan of a tuba?
A lot of questions I know, I am only asking for fun and to satisfy my curiosity,
Thanks,
Paul
