Im a Tuba player in high school and Im wondering what clarinet players especially bass clarinet players think should be the loudest bass instrument in a concert band. If you have a bass clarinet, basson, bari sax, and a tuba, which do you think sholud be loudest? I DO NOT mean blasting away like for pep band, I just think that the tuba is the smoothest sounding bass instrument and so it should be loudest. I love every band instrument I think the woodwind instruments add "color" since they have a reed sound compared to a buzzing sound i guess. Now I know that there are sometimes when the woodwinds should be louder, but I mean just most of the time. Thanks

the one playing the more important part.

if theyre all playing the bass line together, they should blend. at a similar volume.

now, if the question was just which IS louder....
it'd be a different answer all together
