Clarinet Polka - Rich Maloof / Welk Band

I was browsing YouTube and found this:

The solo starts around 1:59

Anyone know what tuba he is playing on Martin bell-front BBb

I have seen Mr. Maloof use at least 6 different BBb tubas on the Welk show.

He was a great tuba/bass doubler.

[Bob Kolada]

I never understood this show.

Perhaps some day you will, Bob. It is actually quite simple. That may be why you, and many others, don't get it.

Can anyone suggest a source for the sheet music for the Clarinet/tuba polka I have seen it as a quintet and as solo on youTube "Westy" Westhofer plays it entertainingly on a sousaphone

Thanks for the link does the tuba get the melody further in?

it would seem that Mr. Whelk recycled the clarinet polka from the 50s tuba and dancing also found more of Dick doing his stuff with a classic tuba sound hard working guy.

The answer is "yes," briefly. Both 1st & 2nd Tuba(taking turns) get it in the final chorus.
