Hi, Ten threads below this is my original Toto/Kansas thread.  
After asking for your assistance, I received numerous responses, both here and by email.  I received great tips, advice on care, and a number of sources for a mouthpiece.
I just wanted to drop by again today and say, "THANK YOU!"  At the end of this week the tuba is going to a music store for its check-up.  Thanks again to everyone who took the time to respond.
