If you get stuck you can swap your bone for the new plastic type I saw at the Music Store today for $120 bucks. It said "NOT A TOY" LOL. No there was no bass bone with a trigger and a bell so large you can't see the conductor. (BIGGER LOL)

That plastic bone might be less likely to freeze up, which is a condition here if you leave it on the permafrost while you have a beer your brass bone gets frozen like the monkey's you know what.
