Thread: Playing Eb "only" music on a BBb?

    Playing Eb "only" music on a BBb?

    A Carnival of Venice tuba solo on Oystein Baadsviks' site, www.baadsvik.com, says that it is Eb tuba only. However, the piece in written in bass clef, and simply appears to be a really high part (going up to an "A" a couple ledger lines above the staff, ouch). Would I need to transpose anything to play it on a BBb tuba, or is it just a high part?

    thanks,

    Playing Eb

    Why not just change the last couple of bars? For instance, play the Ab in the 2nd-last bar "as is" then everything after that down the octave. A pedal Ab on the end would show 'em who's boss!

    Playing Eb

    haha, that'd be hilariously great.

    So all the fingering should be the same as if I was playing a normal BBb part?

    and thanks. =)
