    Wells Fargo Commercial - Young Kid with Bell-Front Euph

    It's about 2/3 of the way though a Wells Fargo commercial on retirement planning for the busy family. You see a small kid carrying a bell-front euphonium off the rehearsal/practice.

    (They probably picked that horn because they wanted something as large as possible to enhance the "growing kid" image, but this particular child may have been too small to carry a tuba.)

    It's about about 0:28

    Wells Fargo Commercial - Young Kid with Bell-Front Euph

    <chuckle>

    Reminds me of me. Gre-e-e-eat big horn, i-i-itty-bitty 7th-grader. In my childhood and collegiate career I played accordion, bari/euph, and double bass. My father wondered why I didn't pick at least one SMALL instrument.

    I'll bet the valve action on that horn is better than the customer service provided by Wells Fargo.
