The pitch is often approximate, but appropriate for the occasion. Have another shot of Tequila~ https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=312632672236687" target="_blank

Yes, that is no worse than the sounds coming from many over-blowing high school and college sousaphone players.

Love it. Its about having fun right? I sent it to my Dixie band to tell them if they
give me a hard time, the drummer and I will do the job alone. :mrgreen:

If it's convenient; if not, no biggie. Thanks.
For science!

A shame the accordion player won't play in "his key". :lol:

The pitch issues compare to those that I hear in many church choir bass sections - "low is low and it doesn't need to be on pitch, 'cause low is good enough".

In the clip I heard, it wasn't a question of "out of tune". The accordionist only seems comfortable in Ab, and the homebrew 'tubaist' can literally only play an F and a C. Since he's 'locked into' a key, it'd be only considerate for the accordionist to play in his key.

Is this the one made by Hirsbrunner or Nirschl?
