Why didn't he take up the piccolo?

Who knew it was going to be so hard to take a tuba to Wisconsin. The tuba is a beloved member of our family and as such should be treated with more respect by the airlines. Yes, the tuba weighs a little more than baggage should but he's a big boy! It's adding insult to injury making him pay all that money and then having to ride in the cargo hold. I knew we should have just driven there!
