Now that it has been determined this is not a euphonium but a tuba I am curios about the process for the choice of horn.Can anyone here tell me if it was written for a specific type ( F,Eb ... whatever ) or was it the choice of the aritist and for what reason did he choose it ?

The Star Wars music to accompany the film was played by the London Symphony Orchestra. My understanding is that John Williams worked closely with the musicians of the LSO on producing parts that would work well for that ensemble - noting what they could do and including within the music. Therefore one could say that the Jabba tuba solo was written specifically for the virtuoso John Fletcher to play on his Besson Eb.
