Re: question
I think picking the best mouthpiece, you know, like the ones that the pros use, if you could use that you would be much better off than just getting the very best tuba and using some mouthpiece that everyone uses.

I'm new here and was just wondering what sounds better: lacquer or silver plate?

You need to have a can of lacquer and a can of silver plating. Then bang them with the same beater and compare the sounds..BRSousa wrote:Hey everyone -

Au contraire, the cost to the listener can be horrendous.

Re: question
I think the tuba in the middle might be the best. I never was into the fad of heavyweight accessories.the elephant wrote:
