Tuba Fads that Acutally SUCK

[pgym]

[quote="Neptune"I have never been sure how big an effect the wide flare actually has? Can a 19" bell tuba produce a bigger sound than a 15" one (assuming they are the same otherwise), or does the larger bell just 'tubby' the sound?[/quote]

The effect of bells (and darn near everything else you ever wanted to know about brass instrument acoustics).

I've never had a bad comment on my sound or technique or anything.

Never???! I get bad comments on both of these, daily. Usually from myself.

We do tend to be our own worst critics, don't we?

Are all you guys saying I'm a bad player?????
