Part of the focus young players get on equipment is so much discussion on these sites
centers on equipment. In other words, the equipment geek discussions, which are
generally not driven by the working pros, drown out the occasional pedagogy discussions.
After a long enough period of time, folks without a lot of contact with a working tubist as their teacher, or other more mature players, tend to get caught up in the equipment thing, since it's all they are exposed to. Plus, despite the older thread about tubas
being SO expensive, people in most western cultures have a hell of a lot of expendable
income now-a-days, which makes it all-to-easy to get distracted by equipment. Plus for
most people talking equipment is far easier than sharing real playing experience.
