multiple tubas - one piece of music

Would anyone care to comment on whether they've considered using more than one tuba on a single piece of music (other than "Pictures")?

I've done it, and probably will do it more often in the future. I see trumpet players switching around from C to Eb (etc.) for various "licks" within a single symphony or other work...why not us? No, we can't "hide" this from the audience in the way the Principal Trumpet can, but "so?"

Clarinetists switch from Bb to A clarinets within single pieces occasionally...
