do know any tubist woman???

Sure do! Several frequent contributors on TubeNet. Deanna Swoboda is the tuba/euphonium professor at Western Michigan University (and an excellent player) -- we're glad she's here! Velvet Brown, Kathy Brantigan, and Mary Ann Craig also come to mind. Lots of good players at the student and non-pro levels, too (one of our tubists in the Kalamazoo Concert Band is a professional bassoonist who plays tuba for fun, and does it well).

I know that in germany is a woman the greatest tubist

No surprise here!

how many woman play on tuba in the world????

Quite a few, from what I've seen (and I'm happy to see it) ...

The best tuba-player in my eyes?
It ist Frank Ehmann from The Belgian Dixie Kings.

I am very sure!

The Chester !

He and I played together in the Iowa Symphony Band and the Hawkeye Marching Band in our college days (1958-196?) He was a fantastic player even at 18 years old. A natural.

My favourite tubist is Paul Habraken, he actually plays sousaphone. He is the mother of all Dutch sousaphone players.

Wow - with all the great players that have gone through Iowa City (past and present), how were non-music-major bozos like me allowed in the Symphony Band?

Entry to the Symphony Band was done by audition (to the Marching Band too for that matter). I also was a N-M-M bozo, the only one in the euph section for a couple of years. There were also many music majors who didn't make the Symphony Band. I was in the Symphony Band for 5 years, didn't have to re-audition each year. Auditions were done to fill empty positions. It was a great band and was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. Besides Chester Schmitz, jazz trumpeter Paul Smoker was also in that band.
