Bass/Tuba Player on the Late Show(Cobert)

Post by EdFirth »

Does anyone know who this guy is and what tuba he's using? I'm guessing it's a Martin but haven't seen any close ups. I am blown away with his playing on both instruments. Mabye there's a new niche being created here. Thanks, Ed

That's Ibanda Ruhumbika. Not sure which model of tuba.

It's a Holton, from (as I recall) the 20's.

Too much background music getting in the way of the tuba!
