I'm Missy_Gracie's other half - and I love my EEb bass. On a purely personal basis - I hate playing BBb bass. I find it takes way more air than I am used to, and the pitching takes a while to get...

Not sure what the "coating" is - could be plate. All I know is it is silver coloured!

I am thinking about renovating my tuba. Does anyone have any idea how much this could cost or where I could take it to have the work done. For general info:

Thanks All, I am playing a yamaha beginner one- (A 202 i think) and have tried someone elses maestro and liked it. may well give it a try, it's down near Cambridge- so may just buy the thing and be...

So if i said it was £400 but is over 200miles away that would seem worth a punt as the seller seems genuine?

I'm looking for a new EEb bass solo to play with my band. We're top section so I'd like it to be fairly difficult, but also fun and not too high-brow.
