Jon, you call that a tuba solo? Near as I can tell, that was someone who just learned how to play the low F on a BB-flat horn and blew his enbouchure all to pieces. Probably just a percussionist.
This is more like it. And this is what a whole herd of them can do. You can clearly hear why the tuba has more in common with the noble horns in front than the flashy dudes in the T-bone section. “Boingers” indeed.
