Wrong. The amount of octaves is not limited by what YOU can play. Study a little bit of theory, spend some time in the practice room, and quit trolling this dude. You receive a thumbs down.

@pillsburyjoeboy95 If you actually know something about music (number of years doesn't mean you are God at it), then you know that fingering charts are just a basic view of a comfortable range. A lot of people can go above and below those fingering charts, and have the notes sound like notes. Just think before you write hate comments from now on you ignorant troll.

@tubaeuphboyemk4 I can't remember the player, but my mentor raves about this freak of a human who can play like 8 octaves on the tuba... The amount of herping and derping required for this blows my mind.

@pillsburyjoeboy95 Ummmm.... What?! I'd die if I were limited to two octaves. I generally play 3 octaves for every scale at least. He didn't make any scale up.

@OldChikity Actually... My friend/ principal tubist here at UMSL can play I believe lower than a piano. There's no definite lowest note actually. I thought there was but he proved to me otherwise.

@pillsburyjoeboy95 For fuck sake, i am a tuba player and ive been playing for 18 years. Just because its the recommended range of a tuba doesnt mean that its the only notes. Professional tuba players can easily play 3-4 octaves just go listen to some les neish or oystein baadsvick. And an octave is just a C to a C or a B to a B ect. Doesnt matter if it sounds shit its still an octave, go learn some fucking theory

@pillsburyjoeboy95 ever studied theory? Just because the notes sound out of tune doesnt mean they arent real notes, The comfortable range of a tuba is two B flats, but the instrument actually has the greatest range of almost any brass instrument, except for the french horn. If you dont believe me, consult the Arban Method book, And dont insult peoples playing ability when you've never heard them before. If i sit in front of a scroll tuner and play a peddle B flat, guess what? Its a B Flat.

I've only been playing professionally for 20 years, boy. What the hell do I know? Choose your battles, but choose them wisely.

I will not further dignify your drivel with any more of a response. You're apparently too talented for your own good.

[pillsburyjoeboy95]

@kprocks1 no, in all technicality, the b-flat only has two real octaves on a tuba. if u can play a "third" it probably sound bad, but what can u expect when the are not real notes? oh and being in high school? that doesnt help in argument to say that.

@TomAndJerry87 hey!, do your mother fucking self a god damn favor and watch that video again, does that look like a marimba? Or a piano? Or a flute? to you? im talking about a tuba scale! not any percussion or woodwind pieces of shit! Fail?

[pillsburyjoeboy95]

@mookiekins hey, Dumb-ass, i study some theory and ive played low brass (mostly tuba) for FUCKING YEARS and if you have ever looked a t a fingering chart, which u probably do a lot with your amateur playing abilities, you will fail to see a B-flat that is more that five bars below the staff, nor will you see one more than one bar above the staff. so that shit he called a scale only has two technical octaves the rest is made up is make believe bull shit! thumbs down to who?
