I understand that they tried to publish the sheet music for "Black Sabbath for Tuba", but the first customer died trying to play the bass line for Paranoid.  The remainder of the potential customers were afraid to try it.

That story is nothing more than propaganda promulgated by the guitar string manufacturers association.

First time I played a tuba - coming from trumpet - I had all these black spots in my vision and had to look at the music sheets through the corner of my eye. Don't think I've quite recovered yet!

As a drummer, the only way I've ever played a tuba was to whack the inside of the bell end hard and fast.  Tuba players (Tubists?) loved this.  Oh, sure, they would yell and pretend to be angry, but they obviously loved it.

Pouring milk into the tuba, however, did not go over quite as well.  I think the tubist was lactose intolerant.  Also, the milk had gone bad.

I must have looked quite the sight when I tried playing the tuba back in grade 7...here I was, the smallest in the class with this ruddy great big thing around me....

Heavy Metal


Here's an example:

New Birth

I have seen Rebirth Brass (or Jazz) band  in New Orleans a number of times.  Trombone Shorty plays with them.


While the first instrument i started learning on was a piano, my parents signed me up for tuba in Jr High School.  Coincidentally, it was the only instrument besides the bass drum that you did not have to buy yourself (we were so poor that one Christmas they cut a hole in one of my pockets so I would have something to play with)

I had my fun learning just the bass cleft, but I kept blowing my eardrums out.  And when I got to my first year of High School and joined the Marching Band, the Sousaphones (which weigh a lot less since about 80% of them are fiberglass) - I swear there is more air to move in them than the tuba.  Anyway, marching band threw me out of playing tuba/sousaphone because I ended up in the hospital from two blown ear drums.  

I took up contra bass (string bass, upright bass... ) and moved to stage band/orchestra.  Still did not have to buy an instrument (still poor and now holes in each pocket).  

That got me into guitar.  It is a lot easier to impress the chicks with a guitar than a big bass viol  

Oh
Back to the sousaphone - I always liked this one.

Oohhh the monkey wrapped his tail around the flag pole
To scratch his a$$_ole
because it itched so.  

And this one about :50
