Yeah Mike, I should have elaborated a bit more. The commonly used tubas, you see, has anywhere between three and six valves. The commonly used flute has to deal with twelve or so and also must use side keys and alternate fingerings (some tuba alternate's actually keep the fingerings the same such as on and two for the D in the middle of the staff on a BBb or the E just above for a CC) for most of those. They have a lot more buttons and a lot more alternates than we do. But... we sound bigger. *S*
