First one in 6th grade was a amall upright Eb, of some sort. When my teacher helped me take it out of the case at my first lesson, the bottom bow promptly fell off. My teacher told me it had been in the repair shop so many times to get junk fished out, the school decided to keep the bottom bow unsoldered to keep future repair costs down. As a result, I always had to keep one hand on the bottom to keep it from from falling off. For two years I had to use this method until I graduated to the BBb sousaphone! That was heaven!
