You know what they say, “Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em... “.

yes, or no ?

Yes, then no, then yes for a while, no again, etc etc etc...

No, unless the ophicleide player doesn't show up...

Why, then, did he compose the "Dutch" Suite in G Major for bassoon and tuba...?

As I have posted in threads of yore:
"Tuba, or not tuba, that is the question: whether 'tis nobler in the minds of men to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous blurts and blats, or end them with a mighty blast; aye, there's the rub! - Anonymous"

Where is the grey area??

I don’t do yes or no!!

Someone explain this to me:

More than one tuba: tubas
More than one Wagner tuba: Wagner tuben

It's all starting to soak in.

It is "tuben," if you are German:

Do you know of any compositions that are not German that score for Wagner tuben? If you do, then you can call them Wagner tubas.
