    Idk if it’s just the thing you’re recording on , but the low register when you speed up sounds a little muddy. Other than that, you sound great and I wish I sounded that good lol

    I love this tune! Back for more after a bunch of years. So well played. I like that it's a tube sonata with piano accompaniment as well as a piano sonata with tuba accompaniment.

    I don't get why people say this song is good, can you please explain why it sounds good to you? To my ears it sounds dissonant and consistently out of balance, and the best parts are when only one of the parts is playing. I'm sure its just something to do with tastes, but I've been recommended this piece multiple times and I feel crazy.

    Not a tuba player but a bass trombonist so I can appreciate the pedals. No hunting or breaking up of a note you nailed it every time. And how you played that falling gliss like Tim at the end ? Unbelievable. Curious what size # of mouthpiece ?

    When I was 8 years old I could get some good low notes out of a Sousaphone. My dad was in the repair business and before the school budget cuts times were good, when school let out for the summer a truck would pull up to the house and unload and for weeks we'd have Sousaphones in the bedrooms and clarinets stacked up like firewood. Unfortunately when I bought my own Sousa circa 2000, decades of playing trombone, and later saxophone, had spoiled my childish tuba embouchure. I pick the big albatross up now and then and let the neighbors know I still have it. I've always had a thing for low instruments. I was a far better bass trombone player (or third) than I was on lead because I was lousy at high notes. Anything above a G, I was screwed and as time wore on, I'd lose the G and then the F# and F..... I took up saxophone at 40, and while I had an alto, a tenor, and even a C melody, bari became my main instrument and even now after dabbling in piano, organ, and guitar for a whole, the baritone sax is still my best instrument. Would love to have a bass sax someday.... yeah would love to have a Corvette too but let's get real....

    Derek, this is great--you freak. We should really post the audio of when we crushed pedal A's in octaves over the orchestra in the Submarine piece... the string basses were confused because they'd never heard that before.

    This is what you call non-mainstream classical music. When folks talk of or hear of classical music, they first think of mozart, beethoven and brahms....and Tchaikovsky works. Hardly Ralph Von Williams, Gustave Holtz, Shastakivich, etc...
