Re: general perception?
Meh. That's not basic or mid-level violin work. It's pretty advanced. A comparably advanced tubaist wouldn't be bothered by that in the least.

At least on a BBb tuba, use alternate fingerings and it is a breeze.

Re: general perception?
If the violin players are so skilled and the tuba players are not, why is the music always written in keys that make it easier for the violin players?
