My new contest!!

[tubaman]

OK, this should be my 100th post, so I'm going to have a contest. The winner will receive a fine assortment of cigars, at least as fine as I can muster up from my cooler!

It's really quite simple. You all MUST have guessed by now that I play the tuba. So answer these two questions and win the contest.

What brand of tuba do I play?

What logo is etched into the bell of my tuba?

Good luck!!

Well, one of you has the correct brand of instrument!

The etching is not custom however, so you need to discover the unique etching that is done by this brand.

Happy Hunting!

St. Petersburg

NO FAIR! (http://www.wurstfest.com/gallerypics/tuba%20man.jpg) You covered the logo with a sticker! But I'll guess Yamaha and three tuning forks.

Thanks for the fun!

Bach tuba + Bach signature was my first guess...
but looking into tubas, it would seem likely, you'd go for something special...


In collaboration with world-renowned tubist Harvey Phillips (http://www.uga.edu/~music/gabrass/phillips.html), Holton sought to create an instrument worthy of the talents of the great artist who would play it.
Featuring the sought-after dual-bore American-taper design, these tubas produce an air column that exits the valve section through a perfectly smooth and uninterrupted path all the way to the bell, offering tonal consistency throughout their entire range.

"The instrument we've created," states Phillips, " responds to the needs and abilities of all players, taking away limitations and allowing maximum artistic control."

This tuba (http://www.dillonmusic.com/holton_tubas/images/TU330CC.jpg) is embellished with a LeBlanc/Holton emblem in the center, but i cannot make out what surrounds it. Probably a signature, or something to signify the collaboration between Mr. Phillips and Holton. Wish i could find a close up, but this seems to be the "boldest" of logos i can find on a tuba.

yahama and the engraving is the limited edition seriel number.

B&S

Etched is a clef symbol and the B&S name surrounded by a 3/4 circle of leaves.

You're killing me!!!!!!

Still waiting, someone with the correct brand needs to do a little searching to find what you're hunting for.

Is it a Bessen?

Could it be a Tuba on like a tricycle? I see a Tuba on 3 wheels under it in a logo.
