Hey, I frequently take my tuba in a backpack to northern Minnesota for hiking and playing from views overlooking Lake Superior. I've never had another hiker show up while I was playing, much less complain about the noise. I pick secluded spots with scenic views for practicing. When at lakeside wayside rests, some people pull up next to my Vanagon, walk to the shore within hearing distance of me practicing on tuba or trombone, yet on the return trip to their car thank me for playing. Some people enjoy music anywhere. Seriously, I really do these things. I'm not kidding. Weird maybe... But a musician can't take a break from practicing when there are gigs on the near horizon even if taking a VW trip. BTW, some people think my warmup exercises on tuba sound like a foghorn so maybe I'm actually helping shipping traffic on Lake Superior. ;^) -- Harold Longley Cray Research, Inc.
