I recently acquired a Holton 3+1 Non-compensating "Monster" EEb tuba. I have only had it for a few days, so I am still working out the quirks(there are more than a few as you will hear some in the video 🤦🤣), but here's a video of an etude from this morning practice session. I will continue to add to this playlist as I become more familiar with this beast for those who are interested.

A little bit of VW Concerto (which definitely could use some work :bugeyes: )

Here is a run through of a few orchestra excerpts from today's practice session on the Holton Monster EEb. I apologize for the execution errors, but I hope that you enjoy this cool old tuba :tuba:

Today's best take of "Ricercar" with the Monster EEb. It definitely could use some more work :facepalm2: However, it's a good challenge, and fun to work on :tuba:
