Though "all o' them tubas" is a tremendous attraction to such an event, how can one possibly evaluate the resonance and intonation of these instruments?
As I've been to four or five such tuba-playuh round-ups over the years, I've NEVER been able to tell ANYthing about the playing characteristics of a tuba (except maybe its weight and ergonomics) when trying to listen to myself play in "the elephant room".
