If you think the best American tuba players are better than the best players from other places, then listen to the CD Tuba!, with Gerhard Meinl's Tuba Sextet. That multinational group will dispel such notions in a hurry.

Tuba players outside the U.S. may strive for a different kind of sound, depending on the performing traditions in their countries, but they don't seem to lack in ability.
