I had heard stories about the infamous CSO/Reiner Dahmals tuba being thrown in the lake. I never really got a straight answer from Mr Jacobs, he was to busy bitching about the horn. The instrument was owned by the CSO and another story went that he hid it in the basement of Orchestra Hall where no one would find the beast. During the Hall's most recent restoration, it was not found.

For the Dec 17 Tribute, in the slide show, we stuck in a picture of the brass section and Jacobs with the Dahmels (Mr Jacobs would have appreciated the joke). Afterwards, someone came to me claiming that they owned that horn!

This seems to be a subject of urban folklore.
