I randomly stumbled upon this today. Great picture! Anyone know the tuba player?

Had this been in the UK, then poor Jonathan.

Edit: Not because J. plays out of tune, but as he has said himself, he is one of a vert few people playing rotary tubas in the UK. And due to the ivy, my thoughts immediately went to England.

I do not see water enough to call for a paddle.

If so that pot would serve some size of subsonic embouchure.

When they should have gone to Boston -

(though I'm sure both can be found across the world, in fact English ivy is an invasive weed in many parts of North America.)

If that's the irate wife above pouring the water, it could be any liquid from chamber pot juice to boiling oil.

Looks like a Miraphone 186 BBb to me.

Considering your more recent tuba-acquisitions your very local governor appears being rather generous in respect of her Veterans’ Rehab hand-outs.

The 4th looks OK... it's the 1st that looks a little "empty"!

Even with all four paddles, I think he'd have trouble paddling up that stream! Besides, he already seems to have a creek in his neck ...

Well, I do have ivy on my wall, but thankfully no irate woman poring water on me (so far!)

Yep. Look closely at the interior wrap, the garland, the dubros, the dogleg into the main tuning slide, the bell flare that looks like the tuba version of a Bach 37 trumpet bell: newer 186.

As far as the person holding it? Probably just a contract model, and not an actual person who plays a tuba, either vocationally or avocationally.

like, for example, my backyard. I spent 3 hours on Saturday "discouraging" English Ivy from climbing (and choking) all of the trees. It makes a nifty ground cover - but when it starts climbing the trees it's a real pain.
