Have we gotten to ""it's not the tuba, it's the player" yet?

“Ask your teacher!”
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

More hot air!
Everyone play louder! Except the tuba.
Oh, you want to be in marching band? You can't march with that oboe/viola/theremin. Here, play this tuba. It's easy.
Our entire marching tuba section in high school was made up of tuba-transfers. I maintain converting the piccolo player did the world a serious favor. The viola player had some serious chops. I was the oboe player. I only wish we had a theremin.

Q: How do you make two oboes play in tune?
A: Transfer one to the tuba section...

You can do the "B 52" by yourself on the cello. Probably on a string bass as well.

Re: your favorite meaningless tuba-playing-related platitude
Remind me, as i am not up on my wwii aircraft...
b52 was the flying fortress? What would their acustically significant features be?
Is that unique BATs where the a is Ameican?
Should we joke about Besson Ebs sounding like a Spitfire?

Barksdale's B-52 Bombers In Action
Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, active service since 1955, last one built 1962 probably going to keep operating for another 30 years. I suppose they're only drawing the line there because they don't like to look forward to an all-over-100-years-old fleet. It's dirty and ugly, but then it isn't carrying a bunch of floral bouquets either.
In terms of tuba sounds, I suspect the idea was more about older propeller driven bombers that would fly over in numbers, with different pitches to their very loud motors. B17, B24 etc.
