Yes, I know what you mean about Bass/low woodwind parts as well as Tuba writing. While a student I attended many Tuba recitals and learned so much from my Tuba playing friends. I even started a Tuba concerto for a friend years ago that I never complete.

One of my fav instruments is the Bass Clarinet. I had a friend who was a wonderful player and lover of the insturment. She was part of a masterclass with the Bass Clarinet Player of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and I made sure to attend not to only support her but to learn a great deal which resulted in understanding and loving the instrument as well.

Perhaps you should consider giving a masterclass specifically on composition for low woodwinds and Tuba.

I know QC does an orchestration masterclass but I think a concentrated course wouldn't hurt.
