Tuba Parts and Unobtainium

I've been trying to get a longer tuning slide for my Eastman 836 for well over 2 1/2 years, even bringing the issue to the attention of Chuck Kerrigan who put me in touch with "the right people".

Suffice to say, 2 1/2 years later I still don't have a longer tuning slide for my 836.

And they no longer have a Chuck Kerrigan, from what I understand.

If it was me, I’d probably buy an additional main slide and swap the ferrules out keeping the original in reserve.

“They don’t strike me as a custom builder kind of place.”

I didn’t know Chuck left but this was 6-7 months ago, before that happened. I know they can and have make a longer MTS, I’ve seen them and talked to people that have one.

I’m going to have pursue other ideas for next summer. It’s the outdoor playing (especially in direct sunlight) that gets me and I’m done with that for the season.
