I must agree that bigger and better are not the same. By the time all of the college music majors who will not be winning the auditions have given up on their idealistic dream of the major symph gig, they won't have any venue for their yorkbrunners and floydophones. There are a lot of guys making most of their gig money in brass ensembles, quintets and oompah bands. How sweet it is to be noticed for not having buried the group with some heroic Listen-to-me-I'm-a-hotshot-gonna-get-an-orchestra-gig sound and be a tasty professional without so much to prove. Having a great 3/4_4/4 tuba is paramount! May there be a renaissance of the smaller horns!
