The Water-Filled Tuba

[14demonhunter]

congrats. you just ruined an 11 thousand dollar instrument.

[BrianRobertsfan]

I did this with my old crap trombone. Its fine don't freak out. Bit it was funny.

[th3boy75]

At :30, it sounded like the worst case of the poot'n dooks ever.

[L3GENDCRAWL3R]

if my band teacher saw that he woud grab your head put it in the bell and makes sure it come out of the lead pipe

[abc114able]

If my band director saw this... He'd string your body through that tuba so your legs come out the bell and your head comes out the lead pipe.

[Jazzmetalrocknroll]

man, you really need to use your spit valves more often...

[TheOther9666]

Wow, we're cool.

[byelosellhigh]

*face palm* people the water isnt gonna hurt it trust me water doesnt ruin brass interments i play trombone you can clean them that way

[maeganratliff1997]

can u spell D-U-M-B-******* !!! u can kill a tuba that way i should know im a tuba player my self and do u know how much it cots to get a new one over 3,ooo dollars!!!!!! god dummies

[Caspergallop]

@maeganratliff1997 You're clearly not an experienced player- they can actually be cleaned with water- Just because these people recorded it, doesn't make it a bad thing...

[DigitalTru7h]

@maeganratliff1997 Dude, I don't play a brass instrument and even I know brass instruments in water without harm. As long as it doesn't have chlorine and its lukewarm.

[lokidude100]

@maeganratliff1997 dude you clean brass instruments by submerging them in lukewarm water it does no harm

[primatekid]

@maeganratliff1997 You may be able to spell dumb, but you obviously don't know how to spell much more than that. I also don't think you know how to use commas....

P.S. You are wrong. You clean brass instruments with water

[jjohnston94]

Reminds me of the old joke: .... so the bartender looks at the guy, then looks over at the band, then back at the guy, then over at the band and finally says, "Hey, Charlie! I think I know who shit in your tuba!"

[Budukai55]

ITS A SQUIRTERRRRRR

[JackOrion0670]

Bandoooos

[gcollinslisd]

wow what happen



[papjd8863]

im a tuba player and this is depressing...

[hatstalker]

@papjd8863 Why? I am a tuba player and I have filed mine up with water and do it once a year and then empty it and fully clean it and polish it.

[iluvsesshomaru09]

That tuba needs the toilet to go throw up.....

[DoTaNeWb1247]

OH IM READING THE COMMENTS ALRIGHT (T_T)

[partisan49]

good way to ruin a thousand dollar instrument

[ConnorLeeWithSomeTea]

@partisan49 O.o *facepalm* water doesn't ruin brass instruments. you can submerge it and just need to re-oil the valves once it dries.some people clean their baritones and trumpets and tubas and ect... by running water from the bath through them.

[BandGeekinessRule]

@partisan49 if it was a woodwind, you would be correct. however, like @ConnorLeeWithSomeTea said, brass is ok in water

[BaritoneJoey10]

@partisan49 You're wrong in two ways. First, that's probably a 6 to 7 thousand instrument. Second, putting water in a brass instrument doesn't ruin it. It is good for it.

[thisisnttoasty]

i use to open my spit valve, but then i took an arrow to the knee

[ChibiVocaloidxPika]

I hope its not broken :(

[shroomkiller15]

i love how everybody's freaking out, give the kid a break jeez

[sparkelgirl11]

@shroomkiller15 that's disrespecting an instrument i'm a tuba player i totally see both sides it's funny but at the same time it's like come on dude it's expensive

[Narniapower]

um yeah that's horrible! like wheres the tuba pride man! its funny but how could you do that to a tuba.....

[killa0142]

dumb asses thats 5K instrument

[MissKatBurke]

Your actually supposed to clean brass on some rare occasions but it must dry out well I don't see how it would harm it assumign that the cleaner isn't something corrosive to brass. Playing... Well ttrying to play it with water in it doesn't matter not really. However like another video on here clorine is corrosive to brass that would be damaging.

[RunAway1tzJack]

How bored were you guys

[salgub]

Man you do not deserve to be a musician, I am a band director in a poor country and I am trying to get a tuba for my band but I have not got one becouse they are too expensive and you are harming one.

[ohanamaggie]

@salgub Agreed! Ruining such an expensive instrument is such a waste!

[jstinch44]

@salgub You are clearly ignorant, as he stated that he was fooling around while cleaning it. (As he put in plain sight in the description....)

[bryan2217]

@salgub i kind of doubt your a band director if you were not a good one its a brass instument it wont harm it i have not been in band for long and i know this

[azsxw2]

if my band director....

[NerdOnTheStreet]

OK, I know that the tuba was not harmed, but if my band director saw this she would FREAK!

[TheAmpolic]

so what brand of windshield wipers did you record this with?

[dragonbrings]

@ninjascenester it really doesnt matter so long as you dry it out its not a woodwind and has no pads to ruin. Although i still wouldnt recommend it

[DexOfWin]

All these people freaking out about how much that will hurt the tuba. They aren't the brightest. You are supposed to give your brass instruments a bath every once in a while anyway

[NinjaScenester]

@DexOfWin I'm a woodwind and I approve of this message. Come on, people!! You should be smarter than this. Oh yeah, you're band kids. I forgot.

[TheWatsonPie]

Yikes. I bet you just stopped emptying the spit valve for a month. Ewww.

[4tothepowerofcheese]

that's spit

[skylar222008]

Which pixel is the tuba?

[33skaterkid33]

i want a recording potato

[Jarfullofjellybeans8]

Really? Do you know how much this can harm the poor baby? OMG, make it stop. This hurts.

[NinjaScenester]

@Jarfullofjellybeans8 come on. I'm a woodwind and I know this doesnt hurt it if you get all the water out.

[Sushiwubber]

WHY DO YOU HATE YOUR TUBA?! As a tuba player I feel hurt.

[dazyrae]

poor tuba :(

[MaddieLPSx]

I did this to my french horn! xDDD

[Jimmythefishyninja]

was this filmed with a potato?

[wizzyc1andonly]

My instruments 50 years old!!! ;P

[wizzyc1andonly]

My instruments 50 years old!!! ;P

[detrick1970]

1:14 looks like his back is on fire

[insectgirl908]

Our middle schools tuba sounded like their was a fish in it...only it was spit, not water. Sounds fun, huh?! :D

[GutsAndSpleen]

240p we meet again

[failureofgenerations]

i clean mine with water and baking soda. ^.^

[19lionkingfan]

i would never do that to my instrument. i love it to much. i even named him sal. (alto sax) he'll be... 3 years old next August.

[Dergson16]

Did you record this with a calculator?

[gearomatic]

@Dergson16 Pretty much....

[KyoTheFoxDemon]

@gearomatic If thats the case, I need that calculator!

[cowboymarchingband1]

@Dergson16 Ti-82 mutha fucka

[Guitarwizard221]

@Dergson16 I DID!

[aldenrichie]

reminds me of drum corps showers with my Contra. before every show I took her to the showers to get cleaned up. haha

[achalorocks]

QUICK! SOMEONE OPEN THE SPIT VALVE!

[TheEpicReaction]

You should clean out any brass instrument with water actually. Failure to do so can result in respiratory diseases and such. Google Trombone Lung, and see for yourself.

[ihatenjoi]

Dude, my school's tubas cost $25,000. We would get slaughtered so hard core.

[KOSPink]

@megahunter308 but he broke up with me, and now he is a baritone...

[healerheart]

i wanna do this with my marching baritone^^ but my drum major would kill me because its the one he uses, i only use it until we get another marching baritone

[kj4ilk]

i have to say this because someone will be stupid somehow BRASS intstrumens are ment to bee washed you just have to re oil them so thats why it says *the tuba was not harmed* by the way that popping sound is always cool

[KOSPink]

My ex would do this with his trombone up In the football stands, and empty it on me... XD

[MegaHunter308]

@KOSPink thats how you know a trombone player loves you if he empties his water on you

[ekiouja]

wow my tuba only dose somthing like that when i open the spit valve

[Stargoosethegame]

spit valve time

[Amazingtrumpetplayer]

Dumbass



[flabaman44]

u guys are stupid. ur spposed to bathe brass instruments, gets food particles and gummed up valve oil out. takes slides and valves out. stick in full batch tub. empty water. that simple

[KarnKrash]

The key is to put water over tenor heads and then go ham, the resulting explosion will be epic and if you play loudish it clears all the water off of the heads. Its a double bonus

[ilovegames256]

that does not harm brass as much as it does woodwinds!

[k1intttt]

Only a tuba...

I laughed at this.

Woodwinds for the damn win.

[Freedomspy26]

@k1intttt woodwinds may have more fingerings but they are not as hard as brass cos we have to tighten or loen our lips to get the correct notes.

[k1intttt]

@Freedomspy26 I know. I played trumpet for a little. :3

[k1intttt]

@k1intttt You sir, are a liar.

[danielelliott18]

@Freedomspy26 Try E-flat clarinet, altissimo register B-flat and A-clarinet, and Alto clarinet, THEN tell me that brass is harder than woodwinds.

[Freedomspy26]

@danielelliott18 lols... i bet u nvr even played brass and ur just a troll. fag.

[02baritone]

@danielelliott18 try the serpent, then the ophicleide, then tell me which is harder brass FTW

[cml3211]

@danielelliott18 Try playing Gunther Schuller's Tuba concerto No.2 or Carnival of Venice on the Tuba let me know if you need anymore suggestions :) p.s. not saying that brass is harder than woodwinds but also not saying that woodwinds are harder than brass.

[lllCADElll]

@k1intttt Brass>Woodwind



[VaderforprezAZ09]

Someone did this to my trombone without my knowledge. Let's just say that the trumpet player and I aren't on *good* terms anymore.

[MinecraftAdventurify]

I play the tuba.... you people make me cringe you sick sick people... Qutie hysterical though!

[MinecraftAdventurify]

@MinecraftAdventurify Quite**

[bandgeek1575]

Thats what it resembles when I turn my bassoon's boot joint over after playing during band rehursal.

[MHSClarinetsTV]

This somehow hurts me and I'm in the clarinet section

[reptifreak99]

47 poeple are mad because they got caught but the band director trying to copy this

[DJChaosXD]

Only a tuba player would do something like that.

[wannawatchu66]

Actually, water in a tuba isn't bad for it (even submerged) as long as it's dried out adequately afterward, and all slides and valves are taken out first, then greased and oiled when put back in. The horn gets plenty wet *inside* from condensation just from one playing it. What bothered me was about 20 sec. in where the bell was put on the pavement and a *foot* was then put on it. That'll do one helluva number on the finish.

[MrJuansete]

lo que es tener plata eh!



[queenpapermaster4]

@EpinessForAll You are a pussy.

[elh666]

Calm down, guys. It's a tuba, not a friggin' basson. Putting water through it probably did it good...

[shakezillahungry]

lol

[joshopsho]

UR SUPPOSED TO PUT WATER THROUGH THEM TO CLEAN THEM

[magicsuperman13]

Filling a tuba with water is not a problem, I myself thought it was so i consulted with a tech and he told me its a great way to prolong the life of your horn as long as you remove the valves.

[Yoshi784]

yea, i mean some of friends that are brass players give their instruments baths to keep them clean where they dump the whole thing into water. the tubas fine, just dry it off.

[bigboydubstep]

but if its cold water it will make your horn extremely flat

[Nuzxxy]

So everyone saying that it ruins the instrument; does it ruin it when it rains during a marching show? I don't think so.

[GerryGuyCorpsGuy]

Do it tith a sousa on your neck, you'll never ever do it again.

[slickwilly95]

@GerryGuyCorpsGuy agree with you

[jonasbrothersmate12]

This is the first video that I've watch today when the title says tuba and it's actually a tuba and not a sousaphone. It's pretty sad...

[wolflove225]

my boyfriends brother plays tuba and i filled his w/ water he was so pissed but it got my boyfriend wet so he wasnt too mad :D

[seahopki]

*sigh* band kids....

[1097atm]

@seahopki *sigh* judgemental people....

[seahopki]

@1097atm it's all good bro, i'm in band too. Tell me though that these aren't just some of the stupid ass ideas that band kids come up w/ sometimes though. know what i mean?

[1097atm]

@seahopki haha well its definitely not a smart idea. but yeah i know what you mean (: i would never even think to do that to my tuba, its an 8k+ instrument.

[dumbo800]

@1097atm No, you wouldn't. But then again, you don't 6 or more other idiots playing on what is likely to be a 30 year old horn that probably hasn't been "properly" cleaned for the last 20 years.

[jennyunleashed]

when you play a brass instrument you get spit in it regardless. spits worst than water, it has bacteria and food particles in it. as long as you clean it regularly it wont rot. use your head. its there for a reason. -.-

[christhornton92]

So you are outside so chances are you used a water hose which is filled with sediment....your tuba is rotting on the inside.

[gearomatic]

@christhornton92 nope, we filled it up inside. probably not too much better, but it was cleaned real well afterward

[SAMWITHSOCKS]

@christhornton92 It's true, water from a hose wouldn't be such a great idea, but my high school band director suggested to me that I give my tuba a bath haha. Obviously I took out the pads, valves, springs and other additional tubing, but I just ran that under the water in my bathtub; I'll tell you what, the next day that piece played so beautifully because it didn't have 5, 6 years of who knows how many peoples spit. Just gotta be careful when you do it.

[octopussperm]

Hehe the tuba's water broke ^_^ its gonna be a cute little baritone :D

[ROFLFunnyGuyROFL]

. . . For the people saying this is bad for the Tuba, Its not, My band teacher told a trumpet to do this to clean it (sorta xD)

[dragun695]

actually most band instructors reccommend bathing brass instruments to clean it out and maintain it.

[heavymetaltuba]

haha i've deffinatley done that before but its hard to get all the water out

[rhd1974]

@heavymetaltuba - I would never do this. Just not worth taking the chance. What I have done is clean out my sousaphone valve casing through soaking it in soapy water for a day. But I have it dried out in a day.

[TheRyan3D]

Woodwind players thinking water hurts brass instruments...

[pizzaboy902]

my teacher would kill me me then use me as a tuba if i did that

[stevenhamlin1000]

@WeaponMaster1346667 good for her mine would be like "what are you doing"

[stevenhamlin1000]

@WeaponMaster1346667 ok

[stevenhamlin1000]

@WeaponMaster1346667 it can clean the horn

[koorimesflame]

@jonagurcia no, no it is not. That is how you have fun cleaning your instrument.

[racersharpless]

think about it you get spit in the instrument everytime u play that would be more harmful than water and that doesn't hurt it so really this is no problem

[brickofman]

@jonagurcia No it is harmless unless you dont dry it i used to put a cup of water in my baritone and pull pranks on people"i think i need to empty my spit valve...!!!" priceless

[s4616]

i have a suspicion this would not work with my clarinet :(

[movefatkid]

if im right.. putting water in a tube is harmless unless you don't get all the water out...

[JesusRuelas209]

i did the same thing with my beratone and i got hella scared cuz it didnt want to play lol

[BewareSwordflash]

I don't play this instrument, but I gotta ask. Why?

[DefyingGravity671]

dude,you all need to chill.aslong as the tuba gets dryed properly ,then it will be fine.

[pkoholic]

@xavierh0719

Dude... Brass doesn't rust... You complete idiot...

[Bradleyley1337]

Good way to clean your instrument. Fill it full of water, leave it overnight and then empty it. That's how I've been told.

[elevatorfreak112]

@xavierh0719 tubas don't rust buddy they tarnish

[TNTTTMT]

these guys should stop being all pissy about you (or your friends) putting water in the tuba, It's not their instrument. You (or your friends) can do whatever you guys want.. >.>

[byah704]

i hate it when people put water in my tuba

[gearomatic]

@xavierh0719 how do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you have blatant spelling errors and write in all caps? as for the rust, it was properly dried almost immediately after.

[elevatorfreak112]

@gearomatic Brass does not rust it tarnishes

[xxdarkmusicloverxx]

okay if i did that with my tuba, my teacher would shit on me. you guys are so stupid.

[gearomatic]

@xxdarkmusicloverxx well you may want to have a talk with your principal about your teachers coprophagia problem then.

[ishking54667]

@gearomatic ahahahaha perfect reply

[trackodemon]

@gearomatic its coprophilia

[MissCin101]

@gearomatic his teacher does not have a problem! You guys do. That will ruin the tuba in the long run idiots!

[elevatorfreak112]

@xxdarkmusicloverxx i clean my trumpet this way i think it's funny and nothing wrong with my trumpet i'm marching tuba next year i will probably do the same thing they wanted to have some fun give them a break the tuba is clean is it not

[roxmysocks13]

@xxdarkmusicloverxx i agree so totaly agree my teacher would kill me with a spork

[roey4ever]

You guys are pretty dumb. But in a good way! :)

[manniemane]

this is acually pretty damn funny

[LOWBRASSPWNS]

I bathe my euphonium and trombone quite often. Nothing will happen to them if you soak them in water. Just run a slide snake through the valves and such, let it soak, take it out, and dry it. And nothing will happen to it.

[foxbox49]

dude if they dont get tht out and dried properly it could create mold and ur not supposed to soak it in soap water!!!! its very hard to get the water all dried properly

[MorkaGraven]

It's not spit, it's condensation. Hot steamy air from your mouth touches the cold surface of the brass and condenses into water. Spit is what you get from a woodwind instrument because of the mouth actually being open when blowing.

[aznpiccplayer123]

Exactly. Everyone says it's spit, but it's just condensed liquid...however, not all woodwinds produce spit. Flutes (and piccolos, and the rest of the family) don't have spit either; they have condensation since they're like brass, but reeds yeah they have spit.

[oXPocketpimPXo]

so do i.

at a college level... how about you?

You know how when you set a pot of water to fire, it begins to steam and turns into water vapor that sets off into the air

imagine reversing the effect and capturing all that water vapor

leave it out in room temperature. i promise you the water vapor doesnt just *disappear*

[Noogit1]

You are an idiot. Take a fifth grade science class. It's called condensation.

[cajunboy71341]

yeah I let my trumpet (stratovarious) soak for 3 hours in warm soapy water once a week

[tigerhusky5]

If you put water in the spit value of a trumpet it's like, really funny..

[elevatorfreak112]

i kno right

[arianafarrar]

i play trombone, euphonium, tuba, trumpet, and piano and i KNOW that brass instruments aren't harmed with that much water if it's dried out properly.

[elevatorfreak112]

@arianafarrar so true i even do this when i clean my trumpet it's so funny

[cj614]

@arianafarrar

i dont even dry mine out. first of all, when im finished playing, theres so much moisture in the slide and sometimes comming out of the bell. all you need to do is empty it. only the outside and inside the bell gets dried when i do it to keep the lacquor from getting soft and taking fingerprints and eventually going away.

[elevatorfreak112]

@arianafarrar yeah just dry it off and it's ready to be played again

[usa360]

@arianafarrar I don't think these guys r sharp enough to take the time to do that....

[ksisonicflash]

@arianafarrar yeah you could even as my director puts it rake a bath with it

[ksisonicflash]

@arianafarrar yeah you could even as my director puts it take a bath with it

[nedyarb1234]

@arianafarrar what size euphonium coz i play a reasonbly small one and instead of the top bar going over the keys it stops at the keys and i know it isnt a tenor horn coz it rests on my lap and the bell stops just above my head
