What Kind of Tuba is that? A Yamaha or Mienl Weston, etc...?

[jbaylies]

That one is a Yamaha, I bought a Rudolf Meinl 3/4 right after the camp.

The version I play must be edited slightly different to yours :)

Nice sound on that horn, I reckon the end of the intro (top of page 2 on mine) could stand to be a lot more dramatic, but that's just my opinion. Good stuff!

[jbaylies]

The version I used was the Kelly Diamond Edition.

Thanks for the comment!

Wonderful, John :)

Sounds beautiful.

Keep up the good work :)

Peace from Ahren

Thank you!

You played this fairly well, you will find the original Down In the Deep Cellar a little more challenging with a lot higher range is required with a lot of Eb;s F and G above middle C.

Watch your accuracy, Your low register was very good on sustained pedal Eb'S

You should do well playing the tuba, and to see you playing BBb

[pursuitdriver]

I have both the original and the Kelley Diamond.

I performed the original back in 1957 as a guest soloist

with the SAC Headquarters Command Band in Omaha NE.

I performed in on a King BBb sousaphone, which was fine.

They are both good arrangements.

How much does one cost?

I love it's deep voice.

[jbaylies]

Thanks! That's not the C tuba, though. There would be no way I could play Down in the Deep on C at that point in time.

My mom also wants to give the BBb back to Gordon College. So now not only do I want to learn C, but I have to! Because if I don't I will be decimated by the conductor at BYSO camp!

You sound great John! See, C tuba isn't so hard!

Keep that sound up front,

John Hinchey
