They seem to think that "the first tuba was actually made in Germany by a composer named Richard Wagner" - I wonder where they got that idea?
ROTFLMAO

The address to report errors in ThinkQuest is (according to their FAQ)
TQLibrary_ww@oracle.com
Perhaps a mass complaint to this site might produce an improvement.

The whole section on the orchestra is just as bad. Why bother? I get the feeling sites like Wikipedia will have thinkquest shut down in a few years anyway. Samuel and Jason (whoever that is) are obviously ignorant. No need to humiliate them any more than their own site already does.

You can tell a cello from a bass if you look carefully.
...or at least if the lights are on...

A picture of Sam playing a cornet can be found on the cornet-related site. If Jason is of the same calibre, this might shine a new light on their articles.

This site was for and by children. It appears to have first been posted in 1999. It looks like a middle school assignment to me. Their facts are almost totally wrong, so I hope their teacher gave them the appropriate grade. Even so, it's pretty funny.

. Tuba players change their mouthpieces to go with the music they are playing. Sometimes a tuba player will have 40 mouthpieces!
sounds like some people on this forum
