Arban-Young-Jacobs Range

[Peach]

Hi,

In the Arban-Young-Jacobs for Tuba, is the range the equivalent as the trumpet version - ie. low F# up to high C, or does it expand out?

Thanks,

Of course I just took this one to work and it's not at home. If my memory serves me correct the range is not at any extreme. I can't recall that it goes above middle C or at most D above it and as for the low range I don't think below pedal F. It would seem to me that the intent is not to stretch your range to the limit, more to work on your musical abilities in a normal range.

I don't have my copy with me. I do remember thinking that it all playable on a three-valve tuba.

The range is fine for BBb tuba, although I think that book is pitched for the CC tuba equivalent to the Bb trumpet and trombone books.

Same range as the trumpet version but pitched in CC.

It doesn't have the text in french though. Apparently there is not a K sound in French...

Thanks! =)
