Recognize the tuba? Tubist?

Post by jeopardymaster »

This is a fairly distinctive looking instrument. I know I've seen its kind before, just can't place it (I'm no great fan of nor expert on F tubas anyway). A B&S if I'm not mistaken, though. Hellacious player and hellacious group, new to me.

so, then there’s also mr. brandstötter…
just a true tuba player...
perhaps not as big and heavy as a real tuba player, but otherwise…
you can talk to him about certain things…
about f-tubas, about e flat-tubas, about c-tubas and about b-tubas for example...
and about tuba mouth pieces…
I don't know what that horn is, but I believe he has had a few unusual F's. I'll be seeing them play at my college in March. :D

You can see it better in other videos of Mnozil Brass, but his tuba has been modified with a seventh valve, which I believe switches it from an F tuba to BBb. Dunno what the brand of tuba is though.
