You shouldn't search for tuba, should do "Euphonium" or "Baritone".

A baritone in Eb? The tuba I have is in Eb, though it has a 4th valve, which Gull's horn hasn't.

In Finland, tenor horns, baritone horns and euphoniums are in Bb. Tubas are in Eb. Some are in Bb (an octave below the baritone), and rarely in C.

edit

I just checked what Wikipedia says. Seems euphonium is the largest Bb horn, with an additional 4th valve. Baritone is narrower but still Bb and usually 3 valve. Tenor is higher, in Eb. As I mentioned, in Finland, baritone, tenor and euphonium are all same Bb horns, but with different bore. Baritone in Finland is what euphonium in USA is, I think.

Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones bought a French tuba. In MiB.

It looks to me like a good ole Bb Baritone Horn. Even though I'm 99% sure, I can't know exactly unless I had the model number?

It plays in the same range and clef(s) as a Trombone. So you could just as easily search for music for Trombone. You'll find a lot more literature under Trombone. :)

Tuba parts read in the same clef, but the range is much lower.

Mark, are you asking my tuba or Johan's one serial number?

Our baritonist only reads treble cleff. Only the French hornist reads any cleff in any transposing key. His pupil, a young girl, reads pretty well both Eb and F scores. I've only learnt to play trombone bass cleff parts on a baritone sax.

What's the problem reading sheets ? I don't understand. I read sheets on the same key the instrument I use is. Else I made a transposition.

Our saxe is in MiB, my trump is in SiB en the piano and the guitar in DO
Playing the tuba will be easier as I'll not have to transcode common parts, it's a MiB.

In short, I have a Sib and a Mib at disposition to help.

The Bb baritone/euphonium parts in an orchestra score might be written in non transposing bass clef or in transposing treble clef. The alto horn parts might be written in Eb or F, Eb for alto horn and F for French horn. In our orchestra we have only one baritone horn, which is common in smaller wind bands. But we have four alto horns, actually two Eb altos and two F French horns. The best sheet music providers provide all sorts of parts. Non transposing tuba in bass clef, transposing tuba in treble clef, either for Bb tuba or for Eb tuba, both Eb and F alto parts, and the both kind of parts for the baritone/euphonium. But then again, some providers only provide say F alto parts. That's when I have to rewrite the parts and transpose them for the two Eb alto horn players, who don't transpose on the fly. Whereas the F French horn players are better in transposing. The French horn is a weird double horn instrument. The 4th valve turns it into a Bb horn, same tuning as in the baritone horn.

At the time when 4 valves per cylinder became popular and cars with I6 engines had "24 valve" signs on the rear, my brother had a Citroën 2CV. I thought of getting one of those "24 valve" signs, cut the "2" out an put on the Citroën. He sold the car, which was a shame. He had done great work on it to get it in shape. 2CV is one of the finest cars ever built. Says everyone, who knows it.

Man, these looks like generated usernames :-p

EDIT: Johan: I loved 2cv. My dad once had a 'Katar', which was basically a pumped 2cv with 4 motorized tires and a claws gear.

I couldn't find any link in English, but if you love 2cv you have to check these:
- wikipedia about katar: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIFTT_Katar
- facebook page (for photos :-) ) https://www.facebook.com/Katar-4x4-131571083545786/

The one I had was like the one in the following page, and it was a finisher at the real Dakar competition. It had two tanks of oil and water tank for the driver/co driver. It was exactly the same red one as the one in the page. Haaa, souvenirs !!!

Then there was this Picassoesque 2CV:
