When I was in junior high we went on a Field trip to visit the Houston Symphony Orchestra to see and hear all the instruments. A call went out for someone to request a song and an instrument to play it on. I got picked and asked if all the musicians knew "Flight of the Bumblebee" (everone did) and I picked this absolutely Titanic sized tuba. Hilarity ensued as that poor man absolutely could *not* make it through the peice for all his (and the orchestra's laughter). This happend in 1982 or so and I think it was my finest moment being a mischievious little brat for requesting those few minutes of pure musical flatulance.

This man is playing so good and if I played one note on that I would run out of air even though I’m a tuba player myself

No one is talking about the lungs required to play it. This Tuba player is a beast for playing it as well as the condition of it allowed!

"it doesn't have any pistons or valves." -Proceeds to show images of the valves.

As a professional horn player, and have designed a few. This particular tuba, after examining it very closely, all the valve tubing is of the correct length an proportion. All it needs are 2 missing piston cap's a good dose of spittle on the piston valve plungers. And then place An add for giant with good copious lung capacity. Boom boom 😯

I thought this meant a tuba from the titanic...

I wasn't disappointed but this isn't what I thought.

Tuba is one of the brass I tried to play in school, on top of trumpet. I never learnt how to properly play either. The most interesting thing I found out about tuba's is if you pat the mouth piece on a tuba or trumpet, you get a bit of noise out of it. Half the time as a AHDH kid in Grade 7 and 8 I just screwed around.
I also tried ALto and Tanor Sax, didn't do well with them but did learn how to play a reed instrument at least.
