Yes Rick, you were somewhat right. I am the happy owner of the auction Graslitz F from David Fetterley. I actually like the horn, but am a bass trombonist and really like the smaller size. Yet, a small F like this isn't for everyone. A .689 bore and 14" bell are pretty small for a tubist, but really big for us bass trombone guys.

(P.S. At least I use a tuba mouthpiece (Bach 24AW) and had the shank shaved down by John Ashcraft. It sure did improve the intonation alot.)
