Subject: Soprano TubaAt Atlanta TubaChristmas on December 18th (at the CNN Center), we had a
rare treat. Frederick Mills (formerly with the Canadian Brass) was
there, and he was playing a soprano tuba. Harvey Phillips got him to
play a little bit for us by himself during rehearsal and performance, and
it's really a nice sounding little instrument. I had heard of people
hacking flugle horns, making them upright instruments, and calling them
soprano tubas, but this one looked like it was originally made that way.
It had top-action valves, and looked like a miniature British baritone.
I don't know much else about it, who made it, etc., but I did find it
really interesting.---

Subject: Re: Albert Alto Clarinet?How can Yamaha be stencil of Vito, if they're two completely different
companies? I lean to understand both companies just know what student horns
should have...Stuart
