I'm looking at trading in my BBb Tuba for a Eb Tuba, I was wondering what Everone else thought about it. I'm prmarily a Euphonium player but Tuba's probably not far behind. I will be playing mostly with smaller groups, but when in larger bands there 'should' (most likely) will be atleast one other tuba player.
Also I was wonding how much hassle it would be to transpose, I have been doing a little every once and a while while I play Euphoinum but it's not usually needed so I don't do it.
My instructor thought that it was a bad idea to get a Eb, but didn't seem to have a concrete reason why, (or maybe I just didn't understand.) He thought that if anything I should get an F. So anything concerning this subject, (even someting I didn't bring up is very welcome)
Thanks again for all your help
James
