my wife,a junior high band director has a theory about this(she is rather amused by a bunch of often overweight guys trying to rationalize their size) she says the reason for so many large tubists is very practical. when an above average size person comes in her bandroom on recruiting night,the first thing in her mind is "ahhh, a prospective tuba player" while this may be a bit "sizeist"(surely a word for the pc 90's),it is truly easier to convince the large kid and the kid'd parents to try the tuba if they can physically handle it.
