If you like, I'll begin trolling on this topic, and reel in some argumentative posts...(??)

pfft

There is that shitload of tuba christmas events on the facelifted site that don't have a date and time for the listed locations...

I am going to be classy this year... and play the GG contrabass bugle instead of the sousaphone. I've been told to just to play a close note for the ones I don't have and to make sure the bell of pointed directly at the conductor and guest musicians in the front row at all times so they can hear me ...

Most of the location popups are missing date/time

Just got a note from Marie Lauren after wishing her a Happy Birthday today,
"Thanks Cousin Dale! One of my daughters plays the euphonium (baritone). Go low brass!"

I think it's Mike Trafficante, even if this was filmed in 1945. If its not him, I'd say ask Klausie, but he's gone... https://i.discogs.com/MVeZqxgiIOLBleBg6gIT7L3NPWUTn8ekoCPvQRZh3-Y/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:223/w:207/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9BLTMwNzM3/MC0xNzA0NTIzMDE2/LTQyNzcucG5n.jpeg ...

Are you sure, its a pretty unusual name hard to believe there'd be another tubajoah

Like Joe, I made a point to have different horns that to me sounded more appropriate for given playing situations. At one time I had small medium and large CC horns in both piston and rotary config. To me they sound different, but I'm not so sure (apart from the "size" of the sound) that there is ...

With my impending Holton 350 coming together in the next couple months, it occurred to me that I’ll have a little bit of a storage problem. I’ve never owned a bell front tuba before, and they can’t stand on the bell. I figure I have a few options: 1) One of those “display” stands from K&M or Hercule ...

The most concise description I can give you is "ballast"

I think tuba colleague summed it up pretty well. The vast majority of your comments on this subject derive from a depressingly hopeless outlook of the world, not based in reality or supporting data. You have your few supporting examples from your close acquaintances, and that’s enough for you. We c ...

I bought a brand-new BBflat 184 in 1983. My teacher suggested it and I loved that horn, used it as my primary through college and grad school.

by the way isn't buying tubas for fun what its all about?

...that I can't remember it. at all. hoss is dead I guess
