How come Holst didn't write it for euphonium? What did he have in mind if it wasn't the euphonium? The mandatory orchestral tuba in 1920s England was the Barlow F, a nice compact 3+2 piston F. Besson was making some really good horns at this time, which are today named as baritone or euphonium but ...

Mahler 7 - "Tenorhorn in B" - my guess would be he had the same instrument in mind as Strauss. I have no reason to think that other than they were contemporaries and their music tracks together in some ways. I've seen it done on a euphonium, a baritone, and oval euphoniums. I've always pr...

Ravel`s transscription of Mussorgski's "Pictures" uses just "Tuba". Given the time when this was done (1922) he would had most probably the french C tuba in mind. This was the orchestral standard instrument in France and the french-speaking part of Belgium between 1895 and 1975....

Hello, I'm back again. Had an idea to make a list of all the tenor tuba parts in orchestral literature and what instrument the composer would have in mind for those (Wagner tubas not included). I know for sure: Holst's Planets - Euphonium Ravel's Pictures at an Exhibition - French C Tuba (or Bb Bass...

any updates?

Found another link, entirely in English.

I have found the website. Had to use google translate and spend 45 minutes in japanese, but I found it!

Well that’s a relief - because I’ve been obeying my Big-Bro’ screen, and have not left my safe space for the better part of two years. possibly (??) pertinent to this thread: A friend of mine – who lives not all that far from Mr. Wade – picked up one of those oval Miraphone E-flat alto 4-rotary thi...

Yes, it is different. It's basically a euphonium in Eb alto.

Hello, Need help finding a website. I believe the owner of the website lives in Japan. On the website, a euphonium collection is detailed. Things like baritones, double bell euphs, and then a bunch of regular euphoniums. However, there is a very peculiar instrument detailed on the site. As far as I ...

My apologies. YouTube seems to want to fight me today.

Just a couple questions regarding historical instruments that the internet seems to not have an answer for: 1) Are the Russian Bassoon and the Cimbasso (Not the movie soundtrack one) the same thing? 2) Are they tonally similar enough to a serpent to make it obsolete/unneeded? 3) Do the Russian Bass...

Before the development of what we think of as the modern cimbasso, the term was used in orchestral scores to designate a bass horn. The term is probably a contraction of the Italian term “corno in basso” (bass horn). The actual choice of instrument was left to the player, as there were several vari...

Are you interested in purchasing this instrument?

I am. I'm looking for a tuba that'll give a more antique sound for stuff like the Bohme Sextet, since I do a lot of brass quintet with friends.

just about the same size as "bass shank" trombone.

Denis Wick offers their mouthpieces with this shank size, and a few of my shanks are offered with this exterior size option.

So something like the Bobo Solo would fit on this tuba?

Carl's tuba is almost a mythic legend because it's so good. The fact that wessex passed on an opportunity to base the new model on it is mind boggling. If the new tuba isnt close to being as good, that will be a very expensive mistake Kind of like when they had the idea to make a rotary Eb, but cho...

I know for sure that this tuba is NOT based off of Mr. Kleinsteuber's tuba.
