OK. I have no more advice to give except he flip a coin. Heads it's tuba, tails it's bari. The trick is to believe (make him believe?) that he must do what the coin says. When the coin makes the decision what does he feel? Relief? or Disappointment? And then go with that feeling .... i.e. coin says "bari" and he is disappoint. So go to tuba. Or coin says bari and he is like "phew!", so go with bari .....

Thanks

They still need Tuba/Sousa players so he's going to try it for a couple of weeks until school gets out

In comparison with other brass instruments, you don’t so much “blow” a tuba (quiet at the back there!!!), as breathe through it.

I was just about to say

"I'm a tuba!"

:p:

The bass from space...

*points/laughs*
Where's your band, dude?

Pffft. I'm Han Solo, bitch.

When you lose your wind, recycle...

A clowder of Tubas? A mob of Tubas? A troop of Tubas? A ménage à trios of Tubas?

A squeeze of sousas?

A plumbing of Sousas.

A rumbling of low brass?

An Excitement of Sousas
A Sternness of Tubas
A Brethren of Baritones
A Fleet of Euphoniums
A Wealth of Trombones
A Flight of Trumpets
A Curl of French Horns

GLORIOUS! Thank you Monster. How is the young'un getting on with the tooba?
