Tubas target world record attempt

A group of tuba players are looking to create a new world record — and need some help.

Friday, 27 July 2012

Members of the 'Bass Players Union' will be looking to enter the Guinness Book of Records as they seek to beat the current record of 502 performers in a single ensemble.

Approval

Spokesperson Pete Scott told 4BR: "What started as an off the cuff remark met with approval from the group and I went off and registered our intention with the Guinness World Records committee and our challenge has been accepted."

He added: "What I now need is players. The date for the attempt is yet to be set and a venue identified, but at this stage it would be great to get an idea of who is up for this!"
