I'd forget this one. It looks as though you'd be using resistance training to "beef up" the lower abs used in breathing. However, as with any exercise, there is a price to pay in terms of stiffness and soreness during the recovery time. Try playing your horn after that.

Also, the oral cavity looks pretty closed off in the picture. Again, training your body do go against what is ideal for the instrument. The devices that Brian Fredrickson has on his site are much more suited to what we as tuba players need, and at a fraction of the cost.
