Why was Sunday's postlude 

called "Tubas Ahoy!" ???

If you were one of the many people who wondered that 
last Sunday, here is your answer.... 

             Is this an organ tuba?

       

   No, this is not an organ tuba.

          


























Is this an organ tuba?

No, this is not an organ tuba.

The tuba is a big, fat reed 
stop found in English organs.  
It can be part of the full 
organ chorus sound or it can 
be a solo above the organ, 
as it was in last Sunday's 
postlude.  This Sunday a tuba 
will be featured in the offertory 
in a quieter setting.
This is their basic design

They come in many shapes, sizes and metals.
Pretty, shiny, brassy pipes
   or big, tall, imposing gray pipes


























Bent over so they will fit under the ceiling

      And lots of fun!

                 

  

Now - what the "Ahoy!" part was about....

                               Who knows......
