«Have you seen the app called ‘The Orchestra’? It is astonishing. For somebody who can’t read music to learn how an orchestra functions, to be able to see from the perspective of a flute or a second violin, is really enlightening.» – Sir John Eliot Gardiner, quoted in an interview by Richard Fairman, Financial Times, February 2014
The Philharmonia’s Principal Tuba’s Chair is endowed by Mercedes and Michael Hoffman. For more information on Chair Endowments, please visit: http://www.philharmonia.co.uk/support/individual/chair_endowment

I used to have access to the exact same model Eb Bass in my brass band, an old Boosey and Hawkes Imperial with the small bell. I'm seriously impressed by his ability to play low notes with his fourth valve and not have them sound vague and muffled, as so often happens with compensating tubas. Some real talent on display here.

I play the tuba, but my valves aren't near the top loop. They are on the front, facing a diagonal direction. Would it still be considered a tuba?

I play the Bb tuba. It's awesome. I practiced arban's method for cornet so hard that I can go really high and play really fast. I really have to film myself play and upload it.

Religious creation isn't certain, but God certainly did make the tuba.
