Not yet, but it's on my radar.
Who was the person "who tried to corner the nation's tuba market."?

My wife gave me this for christmas. I have been chipping away at it slowly. Almost done. I enjoyed the tuba specific parts. The stories/interviews were wonderful. The part about the two fellows in Florida analyzing the different brass alloys was very interesting. The band director parts didnt interest me very much. I had a difficult time reading this book because of the way it was organized (disorganised is a more apt description). Overall, it's a good book to read.
