Tuba in Lemony Snicket...
Lemony Snicket's A Serious of Unfortunate Events has a tuba in it. There's a wedding band during a scene. The tuba player is playing a silver recording bell tuba. Looks like an e flat to me. I was wondering if anyone saw this movie and could confirm maybe the brand of tuba or the player. The sound of the band sounded very live in the movie, so it could have been done for real on the set, but recording/mixing studios are capable of anything nowadays. Maybe someone knows who played? (Tommy Johnson?) Some very typical tuba bass lines but very enjoyable to plainly hear a tuba in a movie. (I enjoyed the rest of the movie also...there's some very funny scenes).

If it's "here comes the bride" then yes, it's from the very beginning of Act III of Lohengrin, right after the also well-known (to tuba players, anyway) Prelude to the third act.montre8 wrote:Yes, I saw the flick with my son and really enjoyed it. The tuba looked a lot like a Conn Eb to me. I liked hearing Wagner with the tuba as melody line. I think it was Lohengrin, if I recall correctly.

Lemony Snicket Jim Self on TUBA
I saw Lemony Snicket weekend before last, when I saw
the E Flat recording bell, it reminded me of Tuba Tinkers horn,
I think I heard Jim Self play some excerpts of
The Bartered Bride by Smetana as well.
The movie theater was chilly, [in the single digits outside]
so it leant a lot to the dour downbeat tone of the movie.
I heard a interview with the author on NPR, so I was already
hip to his writing style.
