A growing number of brass quintets are using bass trombones as a replacement for tubas. F/Eb tubas tend to blend better with quintets...CC/BBb horns have too large of a sound for most works and the balance can be completely thrown off...but alas, not every player has an F tuba lying around :(
@betaomega04 As a tuba player, I find this dissapointing that there are all of these tuba players on contrabass CC/BBb that go for a fat sound as opposed to having a real core to their sound. The Jacobs recording of the Bozza Sonatine for Quintet is a great example of crisp tuba. I think he plays CC on it. The small F tubas do blend better with their smaller sound, but we should not mistake this w clarity. That's why if you're a good musician, I don't care what you play just that you sound good.
Nice recording, by the way!!

Unfortunately we don´t have a good tuba player in the city, but the Bass Trombone player plays very well.
