Pete and Cynthia Zinober

There's perfect harmony in 鶹AV 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.
