When i went to get the Adam E3 valve fixed that i dropped, i was talking to the shop owner about the horns i have. I mentioned i had an Eb Tuba. He mentioned that he never would take an Eb tuba on consignment (I am not selling mine), but would only sell Bb tubas.
I was curious, given that opinion, who does use Eb tubas? In the VFW band I play with, one tuba player played the C tuba and i never asked him why he chose that one.
I was just curious about who would use what where and when!
I do admit that i have not had time to play the tuba. I can read treble clef and can add the sharps necessary. But if i wanted to play something from memory that i can play on a trombone or euphonium, I cannot because i would still think the fingering and notes based upon those horns.
