The kings were bought new for our school's, so I wouldn't know how they are supposed to be.royjohn wrote:If a tuba plays in the forest and there's no one around to hear, does it have a German or American sound?
@TheTuba...the King may have been stuffy on some valved notes because the valves were poorly aligned...the Kings don't have a reputation for being stuffy, far from it, they are a classic American tuba which many people like. On another topic, do all funnel shaped mpcs have too much bite? Are you sure you're just not used to the funnel? Most good tuba players can play either type and many do switch between them as needed.
IDK whether you are saying the Kings are new now or were bought new some time ago...at any rate, being newThe kings were bought new for our school's, so I wouldn't know how they are supposed to be.
Not all funnels have a bite, but this was when I was posting without a teacher, so please account for that. Ex, Pt-48
For some reason, funnels feel like they have a lot of resistance. That's why I don't use them a lot.
Do either of them usually sell under 6000?bloke wrote:If someone really does not want a 6/4 size tuba that sounds like an asian copy of a German idea of a huge American tuba, the thing to buy is a damn Martin. They are not much work to play at all, the notes pop right out, and they play pretty darn well in tune. Finally, the sound is unmatched, and even better with a really good player blowing through them.
The ridiculously ugly-shaped (yes: English-made... not American-made) Besson recording bell B-flat compensating tubas from the 1950s and 1960s offer nearly the same type of sound...not quite, but close. The advantage with the Besson is that they are fully chromatic, even better in tune, and capable of more raw decibels.
