historical toobas

Post by bloke »

Has anyone else considered taking up this previous-century/obsolete collegium musicum instrument as a double?
I believe the primary maker of these was a builder that went by the name of "Mattel"...so French, then...??
sidebars:
> I may have read somewhere that Verdi HATED the tuba, but LOVED the tooba.
> You know, Berlioz originally orchestrated "Symphonie Fantastique" for two toobas, but later re-scored it for tubas.

Featuring hydrocarbonate construction, these were way ahead of their time, were they not?

Don't be so hard on Three Valves. I think he may have just mistaken the Tooba with the Twoba
