Good on you!! Anyone who plays brass gets my vote!

I have a sister-in-law who is a very tasty bass player, both electric and upright, and has decided that a change is in order so now plays the tuba!

Can't you use the same mouthpiece in both, or is even the pipe size different?

I can, but I've never tried a different mouthpiece, so I'm experimenting with this one also. The first night I used the new Trom I swapped and changed between the two mouthpieces, but I've decided to stick with the new one for a while.

Nice! Is she playing with a brass band or maybe an orchestra?

Both!! When time allows; she's a peripatetic sonographer and charges around the world working as a locum so joins a brass band/orchestra wherever she fetches up! She has a mint Ibanez (Soundgear?) fretless bass and small SWR bass amp... which I assume now sit under a cloth at her house in Auckland...

Every brass player I ever worked with showed me how to get the thing going but for the life of me, I could only get the dying cow bellow from brass gear, eh! Same with drums; every drummer I worked with also showed me the basics but my brain couldn't cope with four limbs doing different things...
