My “R. V. Williams Concerto”

[Bartok]

Hello everyone!

I played the Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Concerto for Bass Tuba” a few years ago, and I would like to share the recording with you. I hope you enjoy it!

PS: Sorry for the 3rd movement entrance, hahaha... That’s live!

Sounds great! Interesting to see what the little Yamaha sounds like with orchestra. Thanks for sharing.

[Bartok]

Thank you for sharing this! I certainly enjoyed it and the Bach also.

Thank you very much! I did Bach’s arrangement, and it worked very well!!

Thank you!! That small Yamaha YFB621 can sound as loud and round as you want... It’s perfect!!

Very nice! What is that mouthpiece?

Very nice! What is that mouthpiece?

Thank you! It is a "Romera - Mel Culbertson" mouthpiece. Romera is a mouthpiece builder, who lives in Barcelona (SPAIN).

If this mouthpiece did draw your attention, you would check my CC Tuba mouthpiece it out! It is also a "Romera Mel Culbertson" mouthpiece that I use on my "B&S Mel Culbertson Neptune".

Both mouthpieces are "high mass", but design in this one is very agressive, hehehe... this model is known by "The UFO", here in Spain...

Thats right, I remember that now! Not something you see in the US very often, or ever at all. Have always wanted to try one of those! Do they still make/sell them?

[Bartok]

I don’t think so... I think they made similar ones (same measurements), but not this design... Even in Spain is a very strange mouthpiece: I am a professional tuba player and I have not seen a similar one in the last 20 years, more or less...

Gran performance!!!

Curiosamente yo uso las mismas boquillas que usted pero a la inversa! Mel Culbertson 7 en modelo normal para mi Neptuno y Mel Culbertson 3 en modelo "Cathy" (la del megaton excesivo hahaha) para tuba en fa hehehe

Un saludo desde Peru!

[Bartok]

De hecho, según tu firma, usas también una B&S Neptuno, jejeje... Abrazos!
