Here are the results for the Tuba Throwing Contest at Finland on the 2nd half of this message. Question is what tuba did they throw and what model and what techniquie were they allowed to use throwing it???
I also loved the tuba being used to make steam in the Sauna with the blower on it.

Link is below to the ITEC site in Finland. Great pics there as well. You have to look for the pics.

This seems to me the most interesting competition that has happened at an ITEC. Got to love it.
