There's perfect harmony in USF concert hall's new name
Step into the South Tampa home of Pete and Cynthia Zinober and the classical musical soundtrack of their life becomes instantly evident. A well-worn piano that belonged to Pete’s mother anchors a cozy room to the right; vintage brass instruments cast a soft glow from various corners. Pete proudly displays the 1892 valve trombone he bought for a steal on eBay for $300, as well as a 1920 Conn Wonder cornet and a 1926 double-bell euphonium. Prominently displayed is a Miraphone euphonium, with which he performs as principal euphonium in the Eastern Hillsborough Community Band and the Tampa Community Band.
