Spanish, plz ^^

the 5th and 6th valves will be for your left hand..

[terrellrell715]

@alanS5234 the 6th yes but no always with the 5th

I play euphonium and have 4 valves 3 top and 1 side. when I was looking for a new one I didn't want one with the 4 valves next to each other because using your pinky feels unpleasant to me.

[OOSUTINDIINN]

I have 2 tubas, my intermediate level BBb yamaha from my high school, and my profesional level orchestral F yamaha tuba that I own from long-mcquade. My BBb has 4 valves, top action, and My F 5 valves front action. I know the fingerings for both fluently, which is pretty good since the fingerings are completely different, either way, I laugh because I get to use 5 valves and 4 valves. let's see anyone beet me with 6 or more valves.

[purplerainbow14]

@OOSUTINDIINN wouldn't you need to grow more fingers to play with more than 5 valves?

[OOSUTINDIINN]

@purplerainbow14 the way it would work is you would either have 5 valves played by the right and one by the left, or, 4 valves played by the right and 2 valves played by the left. This is common on German style F tubas, like Miraphone and Meinl Weston/Melton. The two styles of valves that are common with the configurations stated above are 4 piston and 2 rotary valves, or, 6 rotary valves.

[jmcleroy4163]

can someone tell me diff between euphoniums and baritones cuz at first i had a three valve baritone and if i get a four valve baritone does it make it a euphonium

[Shmior]

@jmcleroy4163 baritones are narrower. that's the only difference. I have a 3 valve euphonium.

[asianrulez201]

what company is that tuba

[cacalikedumpy]

second and fourth valve is a b natural, get it right. first second and third isnt even a note

[juanvaldez100]

my vowles r different but i like yur vowles better

[boodleboy322]

Although there are idiosyncrasies around intonation the need for alternate fingerings are essential for certain pieces.

[euphoniumgrl2013]

our high school has 4 valve tubas.

[bronwynyeung]

[thesupernova7]

when you played a c sharp it sounds like a d , is that how its written?

[Cappahunta]

man. im a middle schooler tuba player. i play 3 valve in ny school's Advance Band (3rd Year). Right now i have a test in 5 days. The test is playing the Chromatic Scale by memory. I have ADD (as u can see when i should be practicing when im on youtube) so do u or anyone have any tips ob memorizing a scale or playing the Chromatic Scale?

[griger1]

@Cappahunta

hey i had to do that b4 in school. the best thing to do is just to keep playing it over and over again. soon u'll know it by heart. lol

[Tewbuh]

not true. I know alot of tuba players and for everyone including me 1+2 sounds better than 3 but youre right about the 1+2+3 thats worse than 2+4

[wazer95]

Dude! no fair! Your the only tuba tut on youtube lol

I'm a better teacher lol

[tubagirl192]

YEAH 4 VALVE!! WOO HOOO!!! wait is that a bb(flat) tuba

[carlitocarlin]

Wow! thats something i never knew

[sergiy11]

TY!! 5/5! y so lil' people play the tuba? its an awesome instrument...

[ndstumme]

thank you for giving me a legitimate arguement for why I use 3rd valve instead of 1+2
