Herr Russo is right on the mark. The German players tend to use the small tuba (F or sometimes Eb) and we have tended to use the big tubas. I may depend on the size of the orchestra and which blends best with the basses etc. A lot of the overture works well on small tubas, but I played it several times on the big tuba under Herbert Blomstedt who liked it, although he was used to the small tuba in the Dresden orchestra.
