John Sass plays his tuba like that all the time. Playing, practice, recording and live sessions. He is a tall person (like colse or over 7 foot tall) and it may be the only way he can play.
All I know is that is the way he plays and man does he play.
I like to play that way when I forget my stand and the chair stinks. I lay it sideways on my legs. When I saw John do it, I tried it that day.
I don't like it for everything but I do sometimes.
