I am astounded on how much sound that guy gets out of an F tuba. Anyone know what kind of horn that is, and the model?

It depends. I've seen him (on YouTube) with two different horns. The one that seems the most common is the Meinl Weston F Kronos. A better picture can be seen here (thanks to 2165 for all his awesome photos):

It's not a small tuba and a he's monster of a player.

Wilfried Brandstotter is AWESOME! I have really enjoyed listening to him and watching their youtubes. Recently, they were in So Cal and I couldn't get down to see them. I hope they line up a Nor Cal tour! Here is an interview with him: http://www.themusicpage.com/showVideos.php?v=367" target="_blank

The other tuba he uses is a Rudy Meinl 3/4 F. I noticed that he has a microphone on the bell. That could account for some of the tone you hear. Amplified or not, he's truly an awesome player!

That 5 rotor/2 slide kicker setup is... interesting, to say the least.

In this one you get the ultimate trombone player, Elvis!

ANyone have more info/pic on this horn? I can't seem to locate any more, and it's a really interesting design.

^That is one funky looking F tuba Sounds good though!

Also interesting is the mid-range brass horn - a rotor-valved sort of Mellophone played by Leonhard Paul.

I don't know if this is a restored antique, a replica new construction or a totally new "fantasy design," but I have not seen anything like it in any of my brass reference books or on line.
