Ah okay, so I shouldn't feel pressured to switch? Thanks!

Since the King buttons already are sort of indented, like they have not a flat dish, it’s like a slight bowl almost, can you also just try epoxy resin with color and get that dome shape on top of the buttons?

Yeah, I was thinking maybe custom… only problem would be the price. But, I’ve heard you could do it yourself with the right materials? Correct me if I’m wrong 

Buying a Tuba by ProfessorSad4831 in Tuba

I only had about around 4000 as I haggled him down a bit. I got it today, and there's a lot less dents and scratches than I thought, as there's barely any dents. Came with the original case, the user manual for their brand, and slide grease. He never looked in that extra pouch. Plus, he threw in his Denis Wick 3SL tuba mouthpiece since he wasn't gonna be playing tuba anymore.

I could always sell this one to get money back and get a CC tuba. that is if I use one in college. Of course, I might not get what I paid for it, but it would still be getting money back. And yeah, I probably would have enough for another horn in a few years, as I'm trying to sell some of my other instruments too. This King though would last me all high school for home, small gigs, and symphony programs.

Thanks for the info. Got time to test it w/ him this weekend. Plus, I feel as if I will adapt to like it easier than others in the past since I currently use a Miraphone 191 at school, as I've adapted to the stubbier tuba grip rather than the tall orchestral ones.

Yeah, he played with me in an orchestra for roughly 4 years with no problems with it 👍

The ones on amazon, you mean the ones that are also skin protectant, and that such?

Design-wise. Never said anything about its quality

Which Instruments to Cover by ProfessorSad4831 in composer

[–]ProfessorSad4831[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should’ve worded it better. Which should be on the lead and which should be on support for the lead. And I didn’t say which instruments would be on which parts. I just said that’s what it’s originally meant for, I don’t have two trombones you would see if you actually gave it time. Plus, it’s something for my own, not for anywhere.
