It doesn't seem fair that an instrument I use on the regular is in the "Historic tuba collection."
As amateur as they come...I know just enough to be dangerous.

Still trying to sort out all the unfairnesses mentioned above.
Alas, it is hard for aging to be fair, either to people or instruments.
Anyway, keep playing the snot out of it!
