As a percussionist, I was glad to see that the tuba comes with a stick rest!

I see that the second video effectively demonstrates not only how to blat, but how to blat in the high register on a sousaphone. That's great marketing.

That is not typical American marketing; just that particular store. :|
The first video is not all that bad; the guy is just mostly playing sloppy oom-pahs. It looks like he is using a Monette mouthpiece, which would be worth half the price of that Berkeley tuba. The second video though...... :shock: How can anyone blat like that in the middle and upper register :lol:
