Great site. I really enjoyed the sound files particuarly the Rubber Duckie song. I have downloaded them all to my iPod so I can listen to them on the train. Today being a rainy day the Rubber Duckie is perfect.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments! To answer the question, all the arrangements on the web at present are mine, though TJ does some of the writing. Some of these have been published on Tuba-Euphonium Press, and I a hoping to get others out there soon.

We do have a great time performing. They are a great group of people to work with.

Thanks for the interest!

Greetings again,

Ok, last time for a while. The Sights are now up, so everything should be running. Let me know if you find any problems.

Special thanks to John Manning for adding us to his Tuba Blog.

One minor complaint Tim. I apologize in advance for even asking but is there any way you could list the equipment used or at least pictured on the website?

Not a problem. I'll just have to figure out where to put that. Good suggestion. For the record, the euphs are both Willson 2900s, I play a Yamaha 822 F tuba (but on some of the recordings I was playing a Perantucci PT-4P, but have since sold that), and TJ is playing a Gronitz CC, but I'm not sure the exact model (on some of the recordings he is playing a large Holton CC, but is currently selling that).

Hope this helps!

Hey. . .
My Gronitz is a PCK and the old Holton on some of the recordings is a Rusk-cut CC 345 (PM me if you're looking to buy a 6/4 Holton. . . great sounding tuba.) http://www.hometown.aol.com/bubbatuba/holton.html
