If I remember correctly, Kilton Vinal Smith joined the BSO in 1935 as a Assistant Principal trombonist and eventually moved down to tuba until his 1966 retirement. His choice of instruments may have been because the smaller dimensions of the instrument made the transition easier or possibly due to the influence of the Music Directors of his tenure, Serge Koussevitsky, Charles Munch and Erich Leinsdorf.
