    Horns and Gear at the GPRTEC in Des Moines 2022

    Here are some photos from the display area of GPRTEC. Even though Eastman/Shires did not show up (truck broke down), there was a nice selection. For euphoniums, there were 12 models to try from Wessex, Adams, Eastman (from the Buddy Roger's display), and Besson.

    Here is the display from Buddy Roger's Music, which included instruments, oil, accessories, mutes, & misc.

    And because Lee Stofer was there with some tubas AND his repair shop, I was able to get much 4th slide fixed up!
