Hello everyone, after the first post on Facebook about my Bohland and Fuchs Kaisertuba from 1890 there were a lot of reactions. Therefore, here is a detailed sound sample. Detailed information in the YouTube video.
Enjoy listening!
A beautiful and inspiring treatment of Blazhevich 9 on such a classic with no slide pulling. A testament to the player and the horn. I now know one of the things I will be playing later!
Excellent job and I really like the old tubas (the second tuba player in my section plays an Alexander made around the 1890s). I also have some old tubas that I like. However, the main point is what you got out of the tuba and it was excellent (my wife agreed). Keep up the good work and always enjoy the tuba!
best,
mark
