Re: Tuba Tuesday: Pan American, EE flat tuba, 3 piston, c.1935
I like these, but i like strap loops at the base of the bell and 2/3rds up the other side, rather than at the bow extremities...
Feels weird having such a specific opinion. Is that what growing up is like?

I just need to hold the instrument close while i blow it and finger the valves.
I only have so many hands, especially when it isn't in my lap...
I think i do this with every instrument.
