Hello fellow BBSers,
I just got a flyer from Taylor Music in SD and they have a few reconditioned 20Js and 25Js for sale. And in the flyer they had a copy of an old Conn ad explaining the design of the short stroke valve. I know they still make the 20K sousas with the short stroke valve. My question of the day is "why doesn't Conn build a professional concert tuba with those valves? Especially the new Conn 52 & 56(?)Js that just came out?
Inquiring minds want to know....
