It has to be either Tommy Johnson or Jim Self playing tuba in there. The site http://www.moviebrass.com has the list of tubists that play for movies. There are 3 possible movie tubists, and one of them is for the movies in England, so it's one of those 2.

It is very likely that Johnson or Self did play tuba on the soundtrack. However, there are other tubists that play for soundtracks in the L.A. studios.

This site does not list all of the tuba players that play for the movies, it only lists the ones they know about. I'm not criticizing the site, it's informational, not exhaustive in its research.

I was under the impression that my father, Sam Rice, was the tuba player for the original Disney attraction. He was the player for several Disney pics. And I think the old Pirates recording also. Hope that helps.

I do believe it is John van Houten on Pirates of the Caribbean 1, 2, & 3. His website bio confirms: http://www.johnvanhoutentuba.com/johnva ... ut_Me.html

Yes I think it was, John has Uber lung capacity and the Kanstuls he plays on are flat out amazing. :tuba:
