In regards to tuba sizes, how would you speak/read these sizes:
3/4
4/4
5/4
6/4
BAT
Recently, I've heard a few different takes on how to pronounce these. I always thought there was a consensus, but maybe there's not? (just like there's no real consensus to the 'sizes' themselves) Sorry if this is a dumb question!
