Alternate instruments for Tuba Euphonium Quartet
Hello,
How many of you have substituted trombones for Euphoniums in a Tuba Euphonium Quartet? I had a quartet going for awhile but people weren't committing to practice and rehearsal and it kind of came apart. I was thinking of rebooting but only have 2 tuba players that I can count on. (I'm one of them). There are a lot of bone players in the area and have been considering using them. I know the tone is different but curious if anyone has substituted a trombone or bass trombone for Euphonium before? I have thought also about playing Euphonium myself and then using a Bass Trombone for the upper tuba part. Would appreciate any thoughts or shared experiences that you may have.
