polycarp1 said:As usual in threads discussing morality, the question of what precisely is meant by the term needs to be addressed. Is the modern instrument called a "tuba" what was meant by the condemnation of "serpents" in Scripture? What exactly is the instrument referred to in Psalms 150, "Praise him upon the trumpet"? Does the condemnation extent to euphoniums? Sousaphones? Sousaphones played in Susa, by the Medes and the Persians? This raises many questions that call for answers. Does God's forgiveness extend even to an unrepentant tuba-player? What about someone who wants to play a tuba but resists the temptation? This is rife with moral issues!

But of course we KNOW Jesus meant to call Tubas abominations. He just didn't get around to it. So, yes, tubas are evil and all people who play them will be relegated to the lowest levels of Hell!DaveS said:Unfortunately I cannot find any approval of tubas in the Bible so tubas must therefore be evil.
This is proven by the effect it has on your ears if you stand too near to one when it is sounding.
Violins on the other hand are symbols of virtue and anyone who plays one is only one step from Jesus Himself! However, I still pray that Jesus will guide my fingers from the wrong notes and place them on the right path of eternal good playing. It is answered occasionally.

EmmaJane said:According to an old Flanders and Swann song, the tuba can be used to induce suicidal thoughts
(My neighbour's asleep in his bed
I'll soon make him wish he was dead
I'll take up the tuba instead)
