I played the tuba for five years in junior high and high school band.

I dislike that it is often used to depict clownish, buffoonish, or fat characters.

I’m grateful to James Horner, who made the tuba beautiful in his cue from the “Apollo 13” soundtrack, “The Launch.” And to Ludwig Görensson, who made the tuba bad-ass in his cue “You Are A Mandalorian” from his soundtrack to “The Mandalorian”.
