Help- Tuba Butt Joint Repair

#1 Post by Pabloaguas »

Hi All,

My tuba 45 has one butt joint on the outer edge coming loose. It’s the 45” edge on the “top”. All the Acrytex has fallen off and when being played I put my finger on the joint and I can feel the joint moving a couple mm but there is no air leak- just the PLP glue flexing but I’m concerned that the plp will eventually break free?

I’m sure there are many ways to fix this but wondering what would be the best way without having to break the joint or add too much supportive material to the joint. Is there an easy fix?
