Zitat des Tages über Tuba:
I play piano and drums very poorly and French horn and tuba all equally as bad.
You start way down on a low B flat on the tuba and you have a chromatic scale; you can match the colours all the way up, till you get to the top of the trumpet.
I've got a lot of respect for tuba players, just carrying that thing around.
I like a lot of bass players. I like a lot of tuba players too.
I don't play the tuba.
I played the tuba in high school. I wanted to be a member of the marching band. I thought, what can I play that has the most effect? What can I play to get people to laugh?
The tuba is certainly the most intestinal of instruments, the very lower bowel of music.
After I learned the piano, I went on to learn percussion, the tuba, b-flat baritone, French horn, trombone, trumpet, most of the instruments in the orchestra. Trumpet was my instrument.
