That sounds great.

Whether you tuned those chords as you played each part - or whether you tuned them in the editing, YOU had to HEAR when they sounded "RIGHT".

(and - if tuned later - I'm certainly NOT judging...not at all! It seems to me that it's impossible to tune "chords" when most of the pitches - in the eventual chord - have yet to be recorded.)

It's very difficult (for me) to hear when super-low tuba chords are "right", because the regular overtones present (in traditionally-voiced chords) are missing, and very low-pitches (interfering) overtones have taken their place.

Thank you! It's not retuned (only its a complete fail or something) ! The intonation i made during the recording.
The balance etc. too
It's just mixed and put some reverb ...

Yes it is REALLY hard to nail all the parts of a chord without hearing what you are tuning WITH. I agree just fabulous intonation, plus fabulous tone quality.
