Toccata Marziale on 1920/1930 Bohland und Fuchs Kaisertuba

Post by Kontrabasstuba »

Here is a sound check of an old 1920/1930s Bohland and Fuchs Kaisertuba in B.
I chose the Toccata Marziale by R. Vaughan Williams.

Have fun listening to 🎶🎵😃

This would be a nice room and excerpt to do some comparison between different tubas.
The sound starting at 20s is incredibly beautiful and clear.

Sounds great! Harder work than modern tubas or not so much?

Thank you. The Tuba is 100 years old. Of course it's not like an modern, but quite similar 😃
