When I started playing the tuba, my elementary school didn't own any tubas. The two of us played sousaphones in special chairs. It wasn't until 2 years later, when I was in 6th grade, that I got to play a real "tuba." I believe my first tuba was a giant Conn 4/4 or 5/4 BBb with 3 front action valves and a recording bell. I played it for my first lesson in middle school. From then on I played a Yamaha 103 until high school.
Ahh...the good ole days. :)
