As you can tell from my rather motley stable of instruments and the turnover rate, I don't seem to be subject to these diseases -- at least in the area of brass musical instruments. But none of you seem to have very serious forms of the afflictions either (at least in the case of euphoniums) -- or else you would be buying VERY much more expensive examples.Gary Merrill

Hello Gary, doubtless the manifestations of brassophilia nervosa affecting even the most ardent members of the euphonium and tuba community is invariably much milder than the related scurge of audiophrenia nervosa and its variants, which devastates the world of high-end audio hobbyists, where, in the most severe cases, the aflicted appear to sink dozens of thousand dollars several times a year in their audio gear.
See my old "scholarly" article on the subject at:
