Actually I was looking for a reply to my earlier post which was prompted by the following, taken from a post by dp above:
"Examples of what I am saying: a 20-J Recording Bass (what they were called historically until production ceased and the internet provided their fans extra weighted-ness for propagating their opinions) is different from a tuba, the design and concept are different, although there are more similarities between a generic tuba and a generic recording bass than differences. Nevertheless they ARE different. They aim a different direction, the SOUND is projected a different direction, and typically recording basses are NOT selected for concert-hall professional presentations."
Therefore my question about what happens when you substitute the upright for the bellfront. I'm still curious about that one.
