Having taken up the tuba after playing double bass for many years, I very often find myself thinking of the bass fingerboard when attempting to play tunes on the tuba. This is mainly in reference to Dixieland and other jazz tunes. Doing this has its benefits (learning a passage on tuba that I can play on bass)and drawbacks (I can get bogged down in trying to recall the notes on bass). Does anybody else out there think of another instument while playing the tuba? Do you find it helpful or detrimental to your tuba playing?
