rainer blatt, the theoretical physicist who was awarded the erwin schroedinger 
prize [by the austrian academy of science] is a very skilled euphonium player.
and one of his postdocs is a good bigband lead trumpeter. so valves must be in
physics somewhere. even if trombones are more dignified and elegant :P
