My Eb Sound Clip

I posted this under my "New" Toy thread, but haven't had any comments yet, so maybe folks got tired of that thread and haven't checked it.

I made a little recording of me playing "Silent Night" on my now-playable Eb. I did it in the key of Eb so I wouldn't have to think about fingerings quite so much (and I picked a slower piece for that reason too!). The tuning is ok. I think I've worked out a few alternate fingerings since then to help things out (I admit I don't have the world's greatest ear when it comes to tuning. I can tell things are "off," but can't always tell right away whether it's sharp or flat, so you're input is appreciated). For those that might ask, I'm playing it using a PT44 mouthpiece.

Any comments about anything (tone quality, intonation, turtles) are welcome.

Thanks TNFJ!

Here's the recording (I hope the link is working): Silent Night

Intonation is somewhat interesting :) but not off from what expected and far better
than most of the people who would chime in singing :)

I like the sound/tone quality

The PT44 is a fairly large MP for such a small tuba. I know many loves it on a 981 for it's sound
and intonation, but I'd assume it could mess up a bit on your Lyon & Healy
