I went to the DSO concert last night, which included a performance of Strauss' Alpine Symphony. My question is in regards to what instrumets the horn players were using on several parts of that piece. They looked like oval baritones or wagner tubas but were smaller and looked as if they took horn mouthpieces. What are these called?

Matt Good and Mark Wolfe played excellent on the dual tuba part as well as the rest of the large brass section that was required for this piece.
