I've frickin' HAD it with piston valves. Doesn't ANYBODY make a tuba that has that large York sound, with rotary valves?

HUH. I'm confused. I'm looking for the rotary model, which is the 4097 on the B&S web site. Noah has the tuba he has is a 4097. 'Splain, please?!?

.... B&S 4097 they are looking to move?

Thanks!

SO SORRY! I meant the TUBA player......

Sorry, the TUBA player?!?

In a situation like this, I bring a CC and play the high stuff 8vb. USUALLY, it doesn't matter.

Interested, but could not load pictures. Please help. Thanks!

There will be a prize fund (TO BE DETERMINED) and it will be played at the workshop.

Friends, Once again the Humboldt Brass Chamber Music Workshop is resuming the composition contest. The complement for which we are requesting scores is 1111 (Bb trumpet, F horn, trombone or euphonium bass clef, and tuba). Three movements of contrasting styles, less than four minutes each. Please ...

I have one I might part with. Email me.

I have 2 of them (not for sale) but The Horn Guys USED to carry them.

5 - Make a mailbox out of it. Or a fountain.

Check with "The Horn Guys." Ferguson had some of those.

Why would you obsolete instruments in a modern orchestra? It doesn't make sense....

100 years ago, I used to Poo-Poo BBb tubas. The current state of horn building is SO good, that MANY horn builders make GREAT BBb tubas. So, I say, "Does the instrument make the sound you are after?" If so, THAT'S your horn. And key be damned.

ENJOY!!

get the big one!

I thought this might be an interesting study. What tubas, or euphoniums, have you sold that you wish you still had, or which you could get back. Here's my list: 1 - My first tuba was a MW (a Division of Getzen, purchased 1971) Bill Bell Model CC. Removable bell up. I BELIEVE Gary Buttery has this ...

Nope, as long as the tuba had 4+ valves, you'll be good.

I'd recommend a foldable luggage cart. Go to uline.com and search for "folding hand truck." I put my tubas in their (Cronkhite) gig bag, BELL UP, and bungee the tuba to the hand truck. The bungee that comes with the cart is crap, get a better one (or two!). The best application is to PULL the cart ...
