i play #4 on the CC but for #7 I bring all my tools.i play the 1st and 3rd mvts on F just aas the part says'bass tuba" For the 2nd mvt marked contrabass tuba i place my BBb over by the tuben at the end of the horn row and walk over in between 1st and 2nd mvt. the effect of playing the BBb with the tuben is awesome because you really are functioning as the 5th tuben part through most of the mvt.also the tone color and intonation tendencies elevate the tuben quartet. the last mvt i play on the CC which is just the right compromise between horns and trombones.this is not original toi me. I once heard a European orch.at carnegie Hall play it this way except they had 2 guys 1 playing F and 1 playing BBb. on the last mvt they doubled the part. damn it was good. Dave Mills in charlotte
