Question: Is there any brass instrument larger than a tuba!?
not counting wierdos who weld together a bunch of old tubas in their basement and call it something lame like a Dr!. Seuss-aphone (for non band geeks, it's a pun on sousaphone, a sort of tuba-like instrument)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Ok!. yes and no to your answer!. If you are thinking of the standard size tuba then the larger would be the contra tuba!.!.!. but it is still a tuba!. If all the large brass western instruments are called tubas then the only answer is a tuba!. Oh, the susaphone is really the same size as a concert tuba, just wrapped up differently!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
