Check out the other instruments also. They are also left-handed.
It's the picture that's reversed, unfortunately.

Re: Left handed tuba?
Looks that way, doesn't it? I'd think it more likely that the graphics folks just decided to flip the picture left-to-right to accomodate the titles (notice that the trombone is also a left-handed model) ...oldbandnerd wrote:Is this tuba player playing a left handed tuba?

I have this CD and it looks the same in this picture as it does on the cover . Regardless of weither the picture is flipped or not the valves on the tuba can only be played by the left hand.
Look at it closely .. Am I wrong?
His Left hand is on the top tube of the horn. The valves are curved to accomadate the LEFT hand . Flipped or not that is a left handed tuba.

Flipping the picture reverses the tuba (visually) from a right-hand to a left-hand model (and does the same for all the other instruments and their players). It looks like the picture may have been taken before the title graphics were designed ... had they used the picture in its original orientation, the "Class Brass / On The Edge" would have covered the shoulder and about half the face of the player in the back (tallest one). I don't think that was what they had in mind ...oldbandnerd wrote:I have this CD and it looks the same in this picture as it does on the cover .

I heard one of the first run Telarc SACD discs....can't remember the piece. The entire orchestra was flipped. Ya-know....violins on the right, basses on the left...oops!

This CD is excellent !! They used extra musicians to complete the arrangements .They had some percussion and an extra trumpet to help complete some of the arrangements.Some of the pieces they play are Baccanale, Saber Dance, Russian Sailors Dance, Overtutre to Candid and others. This is the first time had ever heard them play . I will be buying more from them.

Here's another left hand tuba, I thought this was an interesting looking conversion.

From where I sit the violins ARE on the right! Am I the only one here who listens to orchestral music with the headphones reversed?

If you're in the orchestra, the violins are on your right ... if you're in the audience, the violins are on your left. And no, you're not the only one -- it can be useful to hear it from the orchestra's POV.LOTP wrote:From where I sit the violins ARE on the right!
