  • Thanks for your reply, but that doesn't really answer my question. When you say "desired sound," aren't trombones the desired sound for dixieland? And aren't tubas more floofy than sousaphones? It's just a question I have.

  • If you put trombones into a tuba quartet as a euph substitute, you lose the overall sound of the group. The Euph part should naturally sound round and "floofy, whereas a trombone is a directional instrument and will not project the desired sound. Hope that helps!

  • Why should trombones never be substituted?

  • I agree 100%

  • Actually, the most common instrumentation is two euphs, a bass tuba (F/Eb), and a contrabass tuba (CC/BBb)

  • A Tuba Quartet will generally have two tubas and two Euphs. A smaller F tuba may be used in lieu of a 2nd Euph, however, trombones should never be substituted.

  • I liked that they use euphoniums instead of trombones.

    No one respects us!

    this was great though.
