If you don't speak German, there are time links in the description to the excerpts. These guys are good!

Yes.
This forum made me aware of that channel some time earlier this year.
I especially enjoyed the Elektra excerpts. Wasn´t familiar with that music.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Anyway- very well played. According to the video notes, the actual tuba is a Meinl-Weston 197/2 BBb, and the "Wagnertuben" are Alexanders.

And you can set up YouTuba to translate the closed captioning to English, though it's hit-or-miss at times.

Appreciated the sectional videos, I have fond memories of playing the Bruckner Symphony cycle with Saratoga decades ago.

Question: maybe better to start a new thread, but anyone here have compare/contrast experience playing the 197/2 -vs- the 195 Fafner ?
pfft (yes, that's for you)
