Re: Do you guys???
I remember one classification system that was posted eight or ten years ago on the TubaEuph email list. It's still my favorite, and probably most accurate, way to classify a tuba's size.Cesar V wrote:Just one question to better understand my knowledge, how exactly do you determine if your Tuba is a BAT??? can someone in-sight this young tuba player
--Cesar*please tell me*Vazquez
I hope I remember this correctly:
If the flutes say, "What a cute tuba!", it's a 3/4.
If the conductor says, "That's a good-sounding tuba," it's a 4/4.
If the trumpets say, "Man, that's a big tuba," it's a 5/4.
If the bass trombonist says, "That's freakin' awesome!", it's a 6/4, a.k.a. BAT.

I just switched to a PT-50+ heavywall from a standard PT-50....I've been playing this model for almost 14 years, and cannot believe the difference in weight that the 50+ provides! I played some of the Snedecor Low Etudes in my lesson today for Jay Krush, with both the 50+ and the 50....to that point I didn't know how much the mouthpiece had affected my sound....I'm sold on this mouthpiece!
Long story short: PT-50+ on my Cerveny 601.....(damn I need another horn...)
