OK, so we know most of us could manage just fine with one Tuba but what, in your opinions, constitutes a decent, healthy Tuba stable to cover all situations??

My guess for Jimmy McAverage:

1 x Bass Tuba in F or Eb
1 x 4/4 Contrabass Tuba in C or Bb
1 x Kaisertuba (in whatever heck key you want)

I'm interested in what Tubas people have to cover certain Ensembles/Repertoire and also the Horn-Route you came from to get to the current position. Also, if you plan to change equipment, what to and why?!?

Many of us will have read RD's Site with details of his equipment. That's the sort of thing : )

Fire away!
