Greetings from germany. Just found this video from a 6/4 Josef Lidl BBb Tuba. Still a great sound in an unrestored condition.
The bell is over 60 cm!!!! large... I LOVE the sound :hearteyes:

Very cool! What was the piece you were playing? It sounds very familiar but a name isn't coming to me...

Sounds wonderful, both the tuba and the playing!

And yeah, that is an enormous bell, especially for an upright bell (non-recording)

Thanks for sharing.
