[Dixielandjazz] Miking the Tuba

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

One of the guys just spent $5000 on a tuba and he isn't about to clip or 
tape anything to it.  Any other suggestions?  My regular guy's tuba looks 
like a car ran over the bell and he used the tire iron to straighten it out.
