  • that is class. anyone who sais otherwise is racist. racism is disgusting

  • that tuba needs to be cleaned and repaired

  • Somtimes, I watch Tuba videos, and then I end up here :D

  • It sounds like you are really good, but i would like to hear this in person since you know, the videos always mess up the audio!

  • terrible..

  • i just got my tuba and i wanna learn how to play this

  • yamaha crap

  • I know this is about 4 years too late, but some tips on range would be your scales. Also, your breathing looks nice but in the higher register just remember to keep pushing that air through!

  • oops posted same-ish comment twice sorry people lol

  • Sheet music??! PLEASE ??

  • did quality died?

  • Don't take Ofense, I'm a tuba player and I no how hard it is

  • @walrusheadzhang especially playing stuff the tuba really wasnt meant to play. but can be done if someone like htis guy is willing to try. i played tuba for close to a decade

  • OMG IS THAT A GOLD MOUTHPIECE

  • really really really good im a tuba player and i cant hit those really high notes very well how long have you been playing?

  • @Taydizmftw How much pressure do you use when you play? I had to really train my self on that when i started playing Contrabass trombone (very similar mouthpiece to a tuba! I even use tuba one as my spare :) )

    You need to reduce pressure and practise the high notes with the seal on your lips, start out slow doing it how ever you can, and think about it, and see what is "bad" in your technique and work back up the register with" good" technique and it will all seem easier. Hope that makes sense!

  • horrible...

  • @Wyatt1297 do you have a video of you playing it better

  • You suck

    

  • @Codyshrl do you have a video of you doing better?

  • guys it's hard to play this stuff he did a great job

  • could u send me the music sheet or fingering my lil bro wants to learn how to play this XD awsome vid bro!!!!!!!

  • @JokinJoe i bet you couldnt do it any better

  • @pepe6622327

    You wanna bet?

  • @JokinJoe

    It's hard to play that high on the tuba. Whenever i go that high, my tone always gets messed up.

  • @linkinmusic559 yeah i used to have that problem not no more though im a monster now

  • @JokinJoe i bet hes better than u!

  • @TubaChick54321  Haha. doubt it

  • can you fit a cat in that?

  • yes yes and yes cool tuba ing my freind thanks

  • go my little yellow friend

  • also, make sure to open your teeth while playing. as a tuba player you should be able to fit 2-3 fingers in there while playing.

    And for high notes... more air is all I can say.

  • @homeyg9 why should you have your teeth open?

  • Getting a tuba without airleaks tends to help.

    Also, just practice long tones and lip slurs to improve your tone and range.

  • partz partz parzt...:)),,no capisco niente

  • ae japa tu arrebento

  • @travisamen97 ur band must suck.

    Work on your tone by opening your throat when u play.

  • cool that was great

  • Comment removed

  • Good job you really pulled it off well but i would suggest working on your tone, just practice long tones, do them for five minutes at the beggining of practice and five at the end. But other than that great job.

  • bb flat, it has 4 valves

  • is that a piccolo?

  • @bears42154

    ?

    WTF

  • @arbiter179 I'm jk lol

  • thats very good...i bet even the best baritone in my band cant do that

  • @traviscamen97 relly

  • @traviscamen97 hehe i cannn i play baritonee:D

  • @traviscamen97 I can.

  • @traviscamen97 I can. not trying to brag or anything or be rude but i could if i had sheet music

  • @traviscamen97 im a junior, almost senior at RHS, and i actually played that as a solo in an 8th grade concert. the only rough part was about half way through on the high Ebs

  • @traviscamen97

  • Yamaha YBB 321? Great tuba! You play very well. Keep working at it dude! Tuba players bring the band together!

  • lol awesome

    

  • Great to see other tuba players with very decent technical skills. :) Props to any tuba player out there that can move their fingers and play some runs twice as good as those "woodwinds". :P 

  • what kind of tuba are you playing? 

  • @phxrunner Just a full size concert tuba. Most likely a Yamaha.

  • nice :))))))

    

  • good god. my ears are bleeding. lessons please?

  • @r680187

    Do you just deliberately ignore the descriptions or read them and decide to be a complete idiot anyway?

  • @pkoholic I actually assume that content posted for the world to see is going to be content WORTH viewing, negating the need to read anything. This is, after all, YouTube. Not YouReadAndThenWatchTube.

  • @r680187

    The description is also posted for the world to read, so I fail to see your point.

  • that is really good

  • That was really good!!!!!

  • Parece eu peidando...huashaushuahusa

  • is it just me or does everything just seem sound better on the susa when compared to the tuba?

  • I play tuba and i need work on my low A any suggestions?

  • if its low a natural its second valve and low a flat is first try playing regular b flar and then go down. you just have to loosen your amberature a little more than u do to play b flat

  • sorry to correct you but it's spelled embouchure

  • Comment removed

  • happybuttface99:

    What brand is your tuba?

  • @happybuttface99 put more air into ur stomach

  • Like, from low Bb, play down to as low as you can go. And work on it everyday, that helps lip control and stregnth. Then after you get as low as maybe a low C under the low Bb, hen work on high. Go to as high as possilbe with good tone, and work up one more partial. Do it all open notes, go from Bb, F, Bb, D, F, Bb. Maybe even higher. Keep working!

  • Your tone sounds a little pinthed. But other than that, and a few gruangey notes, awesome! I know this sounds wack, but to improve high register, play low low low.

  • The end was confusing. Can't get that to Mario Overworld. :/

  • Very good. Wish I could play this on the trombone.

  • I argee with WBTubakid.

  • i have the same tuba :0

  • Nice!!!

  • better than anything i can do

  • tubas a hard instrument. he plays it well though.

  • Maybe all you idiots never heard me the first time. If you think it sucks, PICK UP YOUR OWN DAMN TUBA AND POST YOURSELF PLAYING IT BETTER. Otherwise, quit your bitching. He did a damn fine job. No, tubas aren't technical instruments, but if they can be played with any amount of technique, they sound great. I'd rather have 1 tuba playing Carnival of Venice well, than 5 doing a Bach Chorale. So, again, if it sucks so bad, POST YOUR OWN.

  • Thank you for saying that. I hate when people do that.

  • i agree with u man!

  • @WBTubakid

    Nice. I think ima take u up on that offer of posting a video of this. not cause i'm a cock trying to prove ur wrong, but cause it sounds fucking beast when u play it.

  • @WBTubakid

    Thank you for posting this sir captain obvious.

  • @AildAlli No one likes a douchebag.

  • @WBTubakid

    What the fuck you on about now woman?

    Get back in the kitchen.

  • @AildAlli It's narrow-minded people like you who just make me smile every day. Keep up the good work.

  • @WBTubakid Ty :3

  • @WBTubakid Can I just pick up a tuba and play it? I miss mine so bad... :(

  • @ydnom89 If you find a good deal on a tuba, let me know >_> I'm looking to buy one for myself.

  • @WBTubakid Aren't we all...

  • @ydnom89 Yeah, I'm looking into buying an F tuba. But those are the hard ones to find used AND cheap x_x

  • @WBTubakid

    Haha tuba!

  • Comment removed

  • not as horrible as your grammer

  • @southparkpro55 It's grammar you dumb fuck, lol.

  • thats huge compared to the euphonium

  • Haha. Playing fast means nothing... A true tuba player knows how to hold out and sustain a low note for support towards the whole band. Tubas are NOT made for playing fast! He tried and it sounded alright. Tubas forever!!

  • I agree, this was a very good run through of the piece. And to all you idiots who say "This sucks." then to you all I say, pick up your own damn tuba and post a better video!

  • it doesnt suck the camera does and in my opinion if this was first run through it was good if it wasnt he should have practiced a little bit more and gotten through all the scratched notes

  • wtf why does playing fast mean anything?

  • u have to get a good tempo to make it sound right in an orchestra

  • that was pretty cool. I am going to sound like a jerk saying this, but if you know it is going to be hard playing in the higher octive, why not try the lower octive

  • TUBA POWER!!!

  • why would he send u the fingerings. thats dumb. why doesnt he send you the music and u figure out the fingerings

  • messg me w/ the fingerings if u dnt mind

  • good ob do u now what level music i can play up to 6

  • o 4º Pisto é só pra enfeite????
