Great exercise and explanation! Thanks so much for sharing this. Another thing to try for folks struggling with this: I’ve found that many students can fix their double buzz by checking their mouthpiece angle and embouchure placement, using mouthpiece buzzing as a reference point for ideal angle/placement. Often, tuba and chair ergonomics lead to compromised posture, etc. and the mouthpiece angle can be significantly off from the buzzing reference (often too “upstream” or “downstream”). I recall hearing about Jacobs helping Bobo get through a double buzz problem this way.
Great to see you again online Chris. As usual you have given a great example to follow with this exercise. Many thanks for the time you have given to this.
I had such a problem with this about two years ago, it’s nice that people have a quick way to just knock that double buzz trash out of their sound
I’m hoping it helps a lot of players!
Thank you Chris for your kindness and generosity! It was amazing, a blast! Please, come back! :D
I will!!!

I’m always amazed how you create musical drills to improve, develop, and solve problems.
Thanks for the kind words! Music is always the solution to mechanical problems…
Did you ever play 3/4 tuba?
