What's the total size of the tuba population? Include baritones/euphoniums in your estimate if you like.

Euphoniums, baritones, tromboniums, tubas, sousas, helicons, cimbasso, and other low brass stuff?? Hell... I think I have fifty or so myself!

They'll have to pry my tubas out of my cold, dead hands!

No, that's the answer to life, the universe, everything.
Total tubas = 41.

8611

According to your friendly government bureaucrats - BUT - they don't count baritones or their kissing cousins the euphoniums.

Way too many.

The obvious solution is to buy one new instrument from each manufacturer and then sum the serial numbers.

Bob Barker reminds you to control the tuba/euphonium population: spay and neuter your low brass!
