What tubas and players were on Penn and Teller last night?

Post by jstrother123 »

On the new Penn and Teller show last night (Tell a Lie) they had 3 tuba players blasting out a BBb to make the alligators go wild. Does anyone know who they were and what kind of horns they had?

I loved the dynamics on the score. Something like "Mucho Blastoso!"

Penn Jillette is such a HUGE human being that he makes the King 2350 Sousaphone he was wearing look tiny.

I heard about this in early 2007 on this NPR story. It's a great science story called "Have you heard about B-Flat?"
