At the start of concert band season last year, one of our 20Js played incredibly stuffy and would barely sound a tone. A bent clothes hanger dislodged a ball of notebook paper from the bottom bow, but the horn still was blocking the air, and it had a certain stench about it. We sent it to the repairman to have the horn taken apaprt, and later discovered a dead bird had been lodged in the tuba. Odd.
