Vomit on the floor, but don't drop your tuba! HAHAHAHA love it!!!
😁
Thank you again for a great exercise Chris . Hope my family enjoy it🤣
Well…I should have published a disclaimer!!! 🤣**DO NOT PERFORM IN PUBLIC**😆
A terrifyingly incredible sound!
My apologies to your speakers!!!! 🤣
Maximum!!!
I can imagine Gerhard Meinl yelling "Yaa Yaa" - like many years ago in Chicago! 🤣
Love and miss you Paul!
@@cheers623 Hope all is well with you and Kim! Miss you too!
I have found many of your tips to be applicable to euphonium as well. I've been practicing the Prokofiev dance of the knights tuba excerpt at pitch to try to gain control of that low C2, this looks like it might be an even better exercise.
Glad it can help!
LOVE THAT HORN!! What if, as on my 186 5V BBb bulit in 1977, the 5th is 2-3? I can go down to that pedal Bb & not use all 5 valves. Comes out great on my horn & I don't barf. Come close to passing out though. 🤣
The 2-3 combination provides some really nice options for low register playing. Unfortunately, it comes at the expense of fluid technique relative to fingering patterns. That’s the main reason it has fallen out of favor. It would be nice to have a detachable version so the player could choose. However…the challenge of locating the tubing to allow for this has proven unworkable currently.
I have always fought pedal tones. Used to be the only way I could play a pedal Bb is to "slip my lip" such that the only thing vibrating is my upper lip. I have been really trying hard to use a more normal embouchure for it but I don't seem to make much progress. My low range down to about C-C# has improved (one thing that majorly improved things was simply trimming my mustache quite short - wish I had discovered that years ago), but pedal Bb and beyond are still really hard to do without major lip adjustment. Got any tips on how to fix that? Have you ever found that some folks just don't have the right face for it?

Does your colleague Peter Norton remind you of Donald Harwood? I always hear similarities.
They had a very similar tone and approach in the orchestra. Having gotten to play with both of them a good bit, your observation is spot on. Two Giants of the Bass trombone!
No Eb version?
If there’s a market for it, absolutely we’d do one. You want that?
@@cheers623 YES Please! Eb tuba is really becoming more popular stateside(myself included) and I’m sure you have some UK followers as well!
@@swanben11 well...I'll talk to my "Boss" and see about getting these up for Eb!
Tell me how the abbreviation of the company is translated B&S??
I don’t understand your question. My apologies.
@@cheers623 two letters on musical instruments ''B&S'' , how to decrypt?
