PDF tuba resources

Post by RobCrowdy »

All-

I notice that qPress has a reasonable range of tuba music in PDF. Are there other publishers who offer this kind of thing?

Thanks

Are you a member of IMSLP?

Tons of stuff there. You have to pay a small fee for full access, but worth it in my opinion.

Many major publishers now have download and print versions of their catalogs for a lower cost than printed format, and you get it right then, rather than weeks later. I just bought three things for about $15 that would normally have cost well over $50 with shipping. I printed them and was playing them thirty minutes later.

You mean "theft"? Never. No one here ever openly asks others for links to stolen music. :facepalm2:

I am only interested in legit music (?) - I'm very happy to pay for people's work.

The IMSLP suggestion is a very good one- there are a number of useful things there.

But back to my original question- are there particular publishers people recommend?

What a fabulous resource! Thanks! I'm now the proud possessor of several Sousa scores.
