“I only knew you for a short while, but it felt like I’d known you for much longer. I was so fortunate to get to learn from him personally as well as from the countless hours I’ve spent listening to his recordings, masterclasses, and interviews over the years. The things he taught me changed how I thought about playing the tuba as well as how I approach music and teaching. His influence will continue to shape the world of music and brass playing for a very long time. Rest In Peace Sam Pilafian. #yeahman”
