"There's a magic in the tuba when you hold it. It's up against your body, and it gets into your bones, unlike other horns that you hold away from you. When you play it, it vibrates down your spine, and when it does---you're hooked."
Dale Hale (from an article posted on his website)
This is a spot on description of what happened when I started playing. Talk about an addiction!

It worked for me - I find that when I play, the vibrations actually blur my vision slightly. Gotta love a horn that can do that!

At first I didn't realize it was my vision that was blurring, I thought the pitch I was playing was just the right frequency to cause interference with the LCD display in my clock. Unfortunately everyone I asked to observe the phenomena said "I don't see anything"...
I now know it is me that is vibrating and not the clock, but I was confused for a while... and many people might have thought mentally disturbed as well

Glad I'm not the only one! Oddly enough, folks think I'm disturbed as well.
