I don't hear any tuba in that song, just a low reed and a trombone (baritone?).

The original album notes say Nik Phelps on tuba - other sources say "tenor tuba" or "Baby tuba" so you may be correct on baritone. The "official video" only shows Tom (and some Emus.)Bob Kolada wrote:I don't hear any tuba in that song, just a low reed and a trombone (baritone?).

Of mild curiousity to me is that "business, business" sounds like it's being accompanied by a lean pedal tone WITH the low reed at the same pitch. Bb with a low C bass clarinet, lower with a contralto/bass clarinet,...? That's getting a bit complex.
