An Occasion for a Vintage Horn

The Christmas season will be here soon. This is my favorite time with my old Euphoniums. TUBA Christmas events provide a wonderful venue to break out some of the old instruments I don’t use on a regular basis.

If you have not ever participated in TUBA Christmas, you should give it a try. If you are a cornet player beg, barrow or steal an old euph, baritone or an Eb Tuba to play. The music is available in treble clef so the fingerings are the same as on cornet (even for the Eb Tuba in T.C.). Just make sure your old instrument is tuned to A=440 and you will be all set.
