Just out of curiosity, how many of you have performed the Brahms Requiem on F Tuba?
The CC tuba makes the right sound, but the line played with the low voices in the second "movement" would be a lot easier on F. I'm also willing to bet that most of the German orchestral tubists would use an F tuba for this.
Anyway, just wondering. I'm going to be using the CC, but I thought I'd see what the consensus might be. Gotta love Ab on top of the staff on a CC tuba. ;-)
Thanks!
