man itss great to see pros breaking down walls i mean not many people think tubas make good swing instruments thats why i joined my university's jazz band on tuba because the director said tubas don't belong.

Tubas just make it more intersting, I'm thinking about joining jazz band, and i just switched from trombone to tuba, and our director said he wanted me to stay on trombone for when the jazz band came along, but I could go from Bb to Bb to F to Bb, but its really confusing because they're are to many Bb's, on my 3rd or 4th time picking up a tuba

@ KennytheBassist: He played a 4-valve Tuba.
It´s incredible what he can do with only 4 valves, isn´t it?
I play a 6-valve f-tuba and I can´t believe what I hear.
He´s the greatest Tuba player on our Earth
Im Sassified^^

It looks to me like he's using a 4+1 tuba. (4 pistons + 1 rotary) If you take a look at his tuba in the close shots, you can see a round brass area just above the first valve where his fingers are. Right near the end of the piece you can see his thumb and the linkage move.

PLAYY THAT SASSAPHONE

Question, is Mr. Sass using a 5-valve Tuba or a 4? The sound he has is quite fascinating, but seems to be a little too pedal-tone range to be done on a 4-valve. I may be wrong, but that's what I get for playing Euphonium too long (I'm a Tuba player by the way, I was asked to perform on Euphonium by a close friend for a concert).

That would be Mr. Jon Sass.
