Actually, I just found it on the internet and was interested in ordering it -----I'll lket you know when I get it!

Well this season with the Richmond Youth Symphony Orchestra we're playing Bydlo. I was wondering if anyone had a copy they could email me, because I need to have a head start it looks like I'm playing on Bubba (my Miraphone 186 5u BBb) or have any advice on how to play it.

I usually use my 10/4 Bat-Outta-Hell-o-phone with a 45DD Plastic/aluminum mouthpiece, recording bell turned forward with a pillow shoved in it.

Sorry -- couldn't resist!

Good luck on the performance!

I have an out-of-production Warburton-made Canadian Brass B1 so-called bass trombone mouthpiece that I use on it for "tenor tuba" stuff...It looks (inside and out) like a "miniature Helleberg" mouthpiece (funnel cup / flat rim).

Do you have any photos of this, Joe? Maybe by a big MP for scale.

I performed it on Tommy Johnson's Bb four rotary valve tenor tuba. I wish I could remember the maker. I believe Norm Pearson also borrows it form time to time for pictures. I think that it is completely acceptable to play the solo on a single tuba or euphonium, but rotary valves are ideal.
