In the middle, I can either play the 16th notes or the low E..not both.
Play the E as a whole note. Better one good note than a bunch of bad ones.

A handful of drugs and a shot to the jaw with a hammer always has worked for me. YMMV.

I think, quite possibly, but not unequivicably, but in no way shape or form randomly, that you should under very close scrutiny and with unflagging perseverence and more than a little dogged confidence while trying to maintain, but not attempting, to assure your attempts while not azttempting anything but the attempt to attempt while marginally moving your 3rd molar a quarter of a centimeter whilst moving your tounge in a somewhat semi-circular pattern of firgure eights while throat-singing the Bulgarian National Anthem not in it's orginal key of A, but in G (I am sure that some member of the TNFJ can copy, pdf, finagle, steal, scan, obtain, obfuscate, purloin a second hand copy from the Outer-Slobovia Philharmonics last audition list that someone scanned, copied into a pdf using the latest WingNut transcribing software from Macrosoft Software and Ancient Euphonium Service) while subdidving with your feet and the brand new SureShot Subdividing metronome and wine chiller and reciting the mantra "PT6PT6PT6" in silver while rattling your piston valves borrowed from a Helicon in F built up to BB that you have to use on Ride while your 3rd cousin keeps time with a TiTanic Bronze Age Super Heavyweight MP and Nail driver(air compressor optional, except when playing you bass tuba, but that is another note)take it up an octave and leave it out, unless you live in Tennessee, then you must go an island in the middle of a pond, sacrifice a goat and a Holton 345, and chant the number 13......if this doesn't work, well then **** it.

All apologies to bloke, I thought he was asking how i created Fountains. My personal horn is a quadruple silver laquered piston activated rotary BBb/BB/CC/DDb helicon shaped Cavalry basscontrabasssubcontrabassquartertonecagestockhausen toooooooooobah that was once identified by Arnold Jacobs as a tuba that would make any pyschiatrist happy that only gets played in recitals of the music of Ferd Burfle in obscure non-sectarian churches in southern north carolina on odd days in May during the leap year. My mouthpiece is a special 142 piece adjustable gap/cup/rim/backbore piece that weighs in at 10 lb. and doubles a siphon house for reformulated WWII twin engine fighter planes, hence the provenance. It was once played on by the Principal Tuba Player of Southeastern North Carolina State College of Proctology and Opthamology (their team was named the Winking Brown-Eyes)and gauranteed by him to give me a WORLD CLASS SOUND. I will post about my altobass 16 valved EE toooooooooooobah at some future date.

OH my.
I played that horn at Interlochen. Or was it Julliard? North Texas? I don't remember, but Brian Bowman said I was a virtuoso, so I lose track of all these amazing things I've played. The horn played like a dream, but it was a little to inexpensive for my taste.
My private lessons teacher says I'm the bestest. I played Maynard Ferguson's Pagliacci I for my pre freshman recital, in the correct octave. Maybe you can come hear me play with the Nebraska Central Community College Honors Orchestra. Under the direction of Fred E. Twiller.

You wimp. I played Pagliacci as written for Luciano Pavarotti, and as soon as he heard it he retired. From singing, to!

Seems to me the only responsibility is to call people out for bullshit, and to hate most posters. Especially the prinicpals of various universities (in the state that has one big star in its flag).
As for the farting thing, I just had taco pizza? I'm working on that "world class sound" at my desk right now at work. Haven't had a customer in a while.

But do you have a world class sound as demonstrated by the denizens of those aforementioned Lone Star State TOOOOOOOOObah teachers? Can you make farting sounds on your horn by playing multiphonics? And just WHAT university are you Principal Tuba of, anyway.

WELL OF COURSE! Hello, Bowman called me a virtuoso. Plus, I play a brand new PT6 that my mommy and daddy got for me because they said i'm the best. The yamayork is my solo horn.
Can you make farting sounds on your horn by playing multiphonics?
Yes, I can even do little lip glisses, sing really loud into the mouthpiece, and blow beer bubbles out the bell!
And just WHAT university are you Principal Tuba of, anyway.
Well, I'm not one to brag. I'd rather not say.

It is true. I once had the New York Met Trumpet Player Peter Bond say during rehearsal,
"Congratulations Wes, when I asked for more "****" in your sound, I didn't ask for you to **** the bed!"
That basically means he loves me, right?
