Tuba, or not Tuba
 

I stole this from Cellar member Kirk's site. Shhhh, mums the word. ;) But you could go there for his take on playing left handed vs right handed, from a guy that does both.

As a French horn (valves under the left hand fingers) and tuba (valves under the right hand fingers) player I've never given it a second thought as to which/how/what/where/why. But if you ask me to think about it a liuttle more closely for me it's a 1, 2, 3 (index, middle, ring finger) question. Or maybe middle -> outwards?

Our old buddy Kirk posted a picture of the band, JP HONK, taking a break.

Oh GOD! They are so GOOD! You are right! (Have you checked out Mnozil Brass, and German Brass? Two very different ways of using the same sets of plumbing).

This guy is great.

A friend of mine was visiting the Bate Collection of Musical Instruments today.
