Is "The Tuba Family" by Clifford Bevan the ONLY book on the history of the tuba and related instruments? Bevan seems to have been the only person to write about the history of the tuba - he's even the author of the tuba article in the New Grove's Dictionary! Bevan's history is fantastic, but I'd like to see what other historians have to say on the evolution of low brass. I'm writing a paper on the history of low brass and would really appreciate some recommendations on other sources to give my research a broader scope.

Thanks,

student
