Doesn't answer the question about the horn, but this may help:bloke wrote:What sort of tuba is Mr. Bobo playing here?
It doesn't sound as if it is, necessarily, the easiest tuba to play...

[quote=""not Bobo""]“I am the tubist on this video.
I am not "a player from L.A." but rather one from St. Louis. I have had the pleasure of performing this piece many times with the very professional St. Louis Children's Choirs over the past few years, including this performance at the American Choral Directors Association 2005 National Conference in Los Angeles. A better quality video is available here:

Roger Bobo Plays the Tuba is a poem by John Updike. The setting for tuba and treble voices is by Brian Holmes. The choreography was done by the girls and they performed without conductor. I think they did a fantastic job.
Yes, this is not profound music (or actually it just might be) and while I might actually prefer performing and recording music like this: http://www.slso.org/adams/, I feel a full, balanced musical life will always have a place for a little Roger Bobo or even something like this: http://www.gatewaybrassquintet.com/Music/2babadd2.mp3!
