I have already emailed Oystein Baadsvik about this particular "Carnival of Venice"

Not reply yet but I'm not holding my breath either

' only on this:

Tell me if this correct: the tuba is the most difficult brass instrument to articulate on. I would believe this is true as when I picked up a trumpet and tried to play, double tonguing was much easier, and mind you this was on a 1907 Beucher True Tone trumpet that had been sitting for 30 or so years. I'm guessing it has to do with the amount of air you have to move.
If that is true, I do find it even more incredible when a tuba player plays Carnival of Venice, although anyone that can play it is a very good player.

Different, but not more difficult. I discovered the tuba after I was a somewhat accomplished euphonium player. After a few weeks, I could play most of my euphonium literature on the tuba (most of it down an octave). I discovered that double and triple tonguing was actually easier on tuba.

Well I guess it is different for everyone

Hi John,
Not sure if I have received an email from you.
Can you resend?

Take care,
Oystein
