  • When I was in junior high we went on a Field trip to visit the Houston Symphony Orchestra to see and hear all the instruments. A call went out for someone to request a song and an instrument to play it on. I got picked and asked if all the musicians knew "Flight of the Bumblebee" (everone did) and I picked this absolutely Titanic sized tuba. Hilarity ensued as that poor man absolutely could *not* make it through the peice for all his (and the orchestra's laughter). This happend in 1982 or so and I think it was my finest moment being a mischievious little brat for requesting those few minutes of pure musical flatulance.

  • Tuba is one of the brass I tried to play in school, on top of trumpet. I never learnt how to properly play either. The most interesting thing I found out about tuba's is if you pat the mouth piece on a tuba or trumpet, you get a bit of noise out of it. Half the time as a AHDH kid in Grade 7 and 8 I just screwed around. I also tried ALto and Tanor Sax, didn't do well with them but did learn how to play a reed instrument at least.

All it needs are 2 missing piston cap's a good dose of spittle on the piston valve plungers. And then place An add for giant with good copious lung capacity. Boom boom 😯

He himself was a tubist & often featured the instrument seen here; the Subcontrabass tuba especially featured in his arrangment of a Chopin Mazurka for tuba quartet & Jacobs' composition "Variations on Annie Laurie" scored for bass instruments. From what I can recall, there are only 2 of these instruments in existence.

    • Those valves look reasonably genuine - most certainly they can - and should - be made to work on this curiosity of an instrument!!! This is the instrument which could allow an orchestra to fully reach down in sound to 32'-C, something which only an organ - or a Bösendorfer *"Imperialflügel"* - can actually do.

    • I play clarinet and saxophone and, just recently, tuba. On a woodwind, the sound comes from the vibrating reed. On brass instrument, the sound comes from your vibrating lips. So, brass instruments are really "lip-wind" instruments. I made that up, sorry. Just like the instrument of a woodwind amplifies the sound of the reed's vibration, the brass instrument amplifies the vibration of the player's lips. So, muliple vibrating lips = multiple notes being amplified.

  • All the valves and their tubing are there; it just needs to be repaired and the two missing valve caps replaced, and then the whole scale can be played. I imagine this whopper bears the same relationship to a regular Bb tuba that a Bb tuba does to a baritone - it's an octave lower, which means it can reach the A below the piano. My BBb tuba can reach the bottom A on the piano, so the extra octave this beast can produce would be equivalent to a 64 foot stop on a pipe organ.
