Hi all
Don't know if this has been posted previously but I stumbled across it today.
It's a mash up of videos of the song "And When I Die" taken since the group first started playing it. At about 3'35" it shows Dave Bargeron (I think...... Certainly sounds like him) ripping up a tuba solo. This is not the same solo famously recorded on their Live album but has a lot of the same ideas.
Enjoy

It looks like he's playing a Besson 3 valved compensated tuba.

According to Wikipedia, he plays a Besson EEb.

Yes, he does, a silverplated EEb. In this clip it looks like he is playing a laquered BBb.
And I believe it has 4 valves.

It is a BBb in the video. Fingerings match the pitch for a BBb. Cool vid.
