In case people dont realise, tubas sound a lot clearer when you hear them in person, recordings generally dont pick up the low bassy sound of the tuba or sousaphone very well, and the reason they sound so gritty and kind of "kazoo"ey is because of that, that's not to take away though that sousaphones generally sound worse than concert tubas

sousaphones are also generally designed to be louder and give a powerful brassy feel whereas concert tubas give the low bassy mellow sound, they dont necessarily sound worse, just different from concert tubas.

Sousaphones sound more piercing because the bell of the instrument faces forward, unlike the tuba and other members of the tuba family such as the euphonium, which the bell faces upward. With the sousaphone, the sound is going in a different direction than that of the tuba.

I marched in the Auburn Band 1978-83 and the drum line(US) and the tuba section always had a rivalry going into the stadium. We stood down on the sidelines and played as the band marched into the stands. Well, the tuba section also stood on the sideline and made up dance moves (if you want to call them that) to our music. The crowd loved the drum line and tolerated the tuba section. Ha! Anyway, War Eagle guys.Glad to see the tradition continue. Hopefully the 2013 season will be a good one!

The Euphonium, however, has a bell that is simular to a tuba's, pointing straight up, like a raincatcher, as well as it usually has four or five valves. The Euphonium is almost literally a small tuba.

I was simply alluding to the fact that 18 top-of-the-line, well-maintained tubas would cost quite a sum of money. Also, the fact that 18 top-of-the-line, well-maintained tubas gathered in one place is most certainly an impressive sight.

Actual there are several different types of tuba. Sousaphones are the ones blowing their brains out above. "Contras" (contrabass Tuba) is the marching sholder tuba that Can be a conveted to a Concert tuba. a marching tuba is most commonly assosiated with a Bell frount Concert horn Used befor Sousaphones and Contras were Created. Basicly there are alot of tubas used for many Different reasons, Such as the Lusophone.

Depends also if the play different notes ,then you can get summation and differenceiationon . say 2 horns play an open fifth ( relates like 2 to 3) then one can hear beat frequencies like nr 5 and the fundamental nr 1. Lets say in notes they are playing C and G,one will hear also(weaker) the E above and the Fundamental C. Its a reason why all the instruments should be in tune. Its very noticable with flutes.
