Tubas (and sousas) work good for dinosaur sound effects

[@davidbjornstad7759]

Wouldn't surprise me; they're good friends.

[@emy_1052]

Do I have hallucinations or did he play at 4:33 a part of the music "love story" by Francis Lai??

[@davidbjornstad7759]

I do believe he did! 🤪

[@danielobrien7738]

Can I have the music?

[@tuyoyoesmio4730]

what type of mouthpiece are you using

[@davidbjornstad7759]

I asked him, and here is his reply: "I'm really not sure David. It might have been one of two mouthpieces I had made with a buddy of mine in Switzerland. One was a bass tuba mouthpiece, the other for the contrabass."

[@nicostruwing1700]

I'm using a normal tuba mouthpiece while playing the sousaphone. maybe it fit's at your instrument too. greetings from germany :)
