Bear Solo
Ok, how many of you have played this on your big horn? I have this coming up in next years cycle, and I remember learning it on CC 30 years ago, just curious?

Re: Bear Solo
I played it last year on a BMB 6/4 BBb, because that is what I had access to. Sounded like a big bear, not to be confused with a Baer.

Re: Bear Solo
I could very well imagine this played on a BAT or big-ish CC tuba. To me, it sounds better with a hint of strain. It shouldn't sound too pretty or too easy to play. I played it on a Besson 3+1 Eb, and I felt somewhat confined by it.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Re: Bear Solo
I've always liked it better on a bass, F/Eb.
