I am a horn player.  I do not agree with Jon.  I have seldom found tuba 
players overblowing.  In fact, I love some of the "big" moments in 
orchestral music.  And I am somewhat envious of tuba players and many of 
their parts.  European (Austrian) band music might give one more appreciation 
for the complementary qualities of the brass family and the lyrical quality 
of the tuba as well as the horn.
