Fred Marzan had a couple of copper tubas he was very proud of.
If you were just after the look, you could have your favorite instrument copper-plated. Probably wouldn't be terribly expensive, either (less than silver-plating).the elephant wrote:WOAHHHHHH! That would be almost "squishy"! You would have to be a very responsible person to play on a copper tuba, or be ready to take the floppy thing to the shop every now and then to un-flop it.
I would love to have one, though. I bet the sound would be very nice (if the horn was already a winner in brass, that is).
