Does anyone happen to have a copy of the Lion Musical bass trombone/tuba book in PDF?

If you do and would be willing to email it to me at <EMAIL email="Dan.pendley@gmail.com">Dan.pendley@gmail.com</EMAIL>, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you!

It's a killer book. Fun, but also pretty hard one. I have it but I'm not allowed to forward it. Hopefully someone else can help with that.

Bass trombone and tuba!! Tuba double NOT a gift double. Must be able to play both instruments well. I’ll check around for a part.

I have played that several times in road shows. I would say that you need to have a double CC not a B-flat. The Bass Trombone part is fairly demanding but fun to play. Tuba parts are not hard. No trumpets<EMOJI seq="1f64f-1f3fb" tseq="1f64f-1f3fb">🙏🏻</EMOJI>. Flutes and percussion are amazing.

The last time that show came through Cleveland, the contractor actually required a CC tuba.

Our Bass Trombonist here used an E Flat (a large bell/bore version - copy of the Fletcher style Boosey) tuba. The conductor was very happy with his playing, and the notorious pedal C's in the part are a pedal on the E Flat as it is on the C. The problem on a B Flat tuba is that the note is played through a bunch of valves (how many depends on the particular horn). It is really stuffy, and especially difficult for someone who doesn't play tuba regularly. On a C, it would be the equivalent of a pedal B Flat for a B Flat instrument, while on the E Flat, it's like a pedal G (1st & 2nd valves).

The Eb is much easier to play the pedal stuff on. Wish I had used one the times I’ve played this show.
