I have been watching a few of the BBC Proms from the Royal Albert Hall, London on-line and out of interest have made some screen shots of the tubas being played which I share for those of you outside the UK who cannot watch.
Information as to the model of tuba and player would be interesting where I have not specified, or to confirm!
I will post more picture as the season goes on and i watch more
I heard a broadcast on Performance Today two weeks ago, and heard the BBCSO playing Zimmermans "Rhine Church Festival Dances." Some truly amazing tuba playing by Sam Elliot!
The Australian Youth Orchestra tuba player is Mark Shearn, playing a Yorkbrunner. A fine player who is staying in Europe after their tour to study in Germany. Good luck Mark!

Looks like they have all of Mahler's 5th on YouTube by the "World Orchestra for Peace". Very well done! The camera work is good too where they focus in on many of the soloists. Below are links to the movements... hopefully in order.
