Once upon a time, around 30 years ago, the piece of fiction contained in an issue of 'On Our Backs'* had the phrase "tuba players are the best kissers."

I just assumed it was mouthpiece size. . . .
@GoldenRetrieverGF @holothuroid
I propose a study including an alphorn player, the player of a python tuba, a trombonist, a tenor horn player and a french horn player.
We hypothesise that the alphorn will be worst and that the tenor horn player will be better than the trombone player, even if both use the same size mouthpiece.
The other instruments are present primarily for repertoire. Part of the grant application includes a composer in residence and a larger call for scores.
