Well. Since all those posts were retarded, lets try a better one:

A variation on the "smaller tuba" theory

Play euphonium for a bit, really stretch out the high register, then play trumpet.
After about a week or so of each, despite the terrible sound that might initially come from each instrument from not being used to it, try ripping into your high register on your tuba with your usual or smaller mouthpiece.

I've done both, and the difference is quiet large. I can hit almost a full octave above my old range. This being with only 2 weeks of practice. (Though were not talking bout the 2 hours a day type, more like 6-10hrs :)

Dont take my word for it. Try it yourself
