If I played outside a lot, I would have my outside horn and my inside horn. It could be a remnant from the anal-retentive band teacher I had in high school, though, who lost his cookies every time it rained while we were on the football field playing "Louie Louie" and I had the concert 'bone with me.

I was quickly downgraded to a 1904 flugelbone, which was a step up from the extremely scary looking 4-key pewter euphonium with two horns, copyright 1792.

You played double-bell euphonium?

Kewl!
