l2elic Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Bridgemen marched with brass-colored bugles if I recall correctly.And when Crossmen came back into finals ('90 or '91?) didn't they paint the inside of the bells white? So I don't think there's a rule one way or another as far as finish goes. yes the toilet bowls were in 89. i just played on a mello that was from that year a few weeks ago. they play like complete crap. <**> Apparently it was thought that the paint would give the horn a more resonant sound...lol...nope.

brassguymike Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 i imagine a fiberglass contra would be legal as long as it was the same shoulder-carry configuration as a brass one.... Sacreligeous....ewwwww Bad thoughts of fiberglass contra's running through my head...make it stop...make it stop.... ^0^ How about a carbon-fiber contra? Chuck Daellenbach (of Canadian Brass fame) has a carbon-fiber bell on his tuba so that it's lighter, more dent resistant and he can spin it around while playing...
