Recently you posted some info regarding John Fletcher's old Holton tuba, stating that Mel Culbertson now owns this instrument. I made a reply to your post but it was quite a bit later than your post. I am very curious: Did Mel buy this tuba from John Fletcher or did he get it after John's passing. Also, I always think of Mel as being such a great soloist on F tuba, I just would not have associated him with one of these old Holtons. Has he used it much? Perhaps this tuba was the inspiration for Mel to colaborate with B&S to produce his own design 6/4 tuba.

You can e-mail me with your response. Thanks.
