Dear All

Mike in the excerpt below refers to a "tubaeuph" list.   As a BBb player I'd 
be interested in joining this list: perhaps Mike could post some details of 
how to join up if it is open to anybody.

PS Why all the whinging on this brass band list about reading treble clef 
parts - my biggest problem 5 years ago when I started on BBb was that I'd 
only ever played concert pitch instruments before (piano, cello, orchestral 
tuba) - I couldn't hack the fact that all the notes SOUNDED one tone flat 
!!!   Now I have trouble reading orchestral tuba parts through lack of 
practice and performance.   Who said "Necessity is the mother of Invention" 
?
