Well done Gary! What, no cards? I should say I played with Gary in Boston for almost 40 years, since we were students at the New England Conservatory of Music.
This is how instrument stories work, either A: you get an instrument and like it. B: you get an instrument you didn’t care about and it became your favourite.
Maybe a dumb question, but would a 3/4 Bb tuba be suitable for a senior citizen who would double on tuba who currently plays euphonium at a basic level? The instrument I have my eye on is rotary valve (4 valve) with 0.63" bore.
I suppose by now you've made your decision, and are hopedly enjoying playing a tuba. I just turned 70 y/o, and bought a Conn 20J tuba a couple months ago. I'm small-framed and skinny, so this tuba is quite a bit to pick up, carry and hold, but I don't have a particular problem with blowing enough air. Assuming you are in good health, I wouldn't expect a 3/4 size to be a problem. I have a euphonium, baritone, trombone and trumpet--all obtained within the last 15 months. I had seen an offering for a 3/4 size Yamaha, but the bidding shot up much higher than I wanted to go.
In my opinion the Mexican tuba players of Banda and other genre are the best even they are really the stars of those songs "yo se que TE acordaras" for example quite simple harmonically but incredibly clever artistic and fun
The close captioning terribly failed to spell out the name of the mouthpiece, can anyone please write it so I can search it. Google is not helping either, Thanks in advance.
No music is NOT universal, that is his white attitude speaking, . Ode to joy means nothing to most people in the world. I still like this fellow TUBA player!!
Gary retired in 2019 after 36 years in the Utah Symphony. Extremely impressive work as a tubist.
I like how you told us your background story of how the tuba choose you
Very interesting. I too am principal Tubist of a fine Orchestra ...25 years now. That tuba you have there is a beast! Thanks for sharing this video.

You don't choose the tuba, the tuba chooses you

Nice job Gary! Thanks for all you do in the tuba world. You are an inspiration!
That has such a nice deep tone. I might have been better off playing a tuba.
$2.25 in 1960 is equivalent to $19.50 in 2020 if anyone was wondering.
...and $22.22 in 2022 (that's a lot of 2's!).
I chose the tuba in 9th grade. I now work as an engineer but I've got three tubas in my house. The love of tuba can't be set aside.

There wasn't two dollars a month for a saxophone but there was money for cigars.
Lol, I mean life and addictions
Great parenting
Will Shank first thing I noticed too!
Classic 1960s
You realize 2 dollars in 1960 is worth 17 dollars in today's money?

Yeah, it’s almost the same thing, just bigger, and much more air

Dayter Potater Same

My friend in California plays the tuba in an orchestra I am a trombonist

What mouthpiece is that
4:45
Played trumpet before switching to tuba. Would've burned the trumpet.
I wish I didn’t play tuba. I’ve spent so much time and money to improve, yet I get nothing but one quarter note every two or three measures...
A tuba is like a bass horn.
What is that tuba oh my gosh
Good or bad?
