Hey guys,
I wanted to know if you guys have ever seen a nutcracker with a tuba, and if so, where could I find/buy one?
I am an avid nutcracker collector, and I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Cody

Wouldn't one of those old Besson Tubas with the knob on the bottom bow count as a Nutcracker?

I think you might have to realize that there may not be anything "pre-made" like what you want. However, there must be many resources you could explore to have a nutcracker with a tuba on it made for you. Heck, you might even be able to do such a project yourself. Best of luck.

Why complicate things. Any decent American type tuba is a perfect nutcracker:

Place nut on tiled floor.

Lift tuba, held vertically, as high as your arms allow for.

Drop tuba, bottom bow first, on top of nut.

German/Czech tuba designs in general are made of too thin metal to fulfill purpose.

Old British tubas with ball busters intact take too much markmanship.
