Subcontrabass Tuba in EEB by Bohland and Fuchs - Video

[kontrabasstuba]

Here it is:

The subcontrabass tuba in EEb!!!

It is about 8 meters long, 98 cm high and has a bell diameter of 46 cm. The bore is 20.2 mm throughout. An incredible piece of craftsmanship. It was probably built at Bohland and Fuchs in Graslitz. Thanks to all who helped me to find this tuba. First of all Tom de Lombarde! Marcel Boom for the great video. Happy World Tuba Day!

I have played from: The Carnival of the Animals (Le Carnaval des animaux) - L'Éléphant (The Elephant)

Have fun listening!

That was awesome.

Also I ran out of air and got lightheaded about half way through, just by listening.
