A recent census indicates that tuba playing has become more popular in Denmark in the last 5 years. There are now more tuba players per capita in Denmark than in Holland or Lichtenstein, but Germany still holds the premier position for popularity of the tuba. It is thought that the more sophisticated image of the tuba presented in recent years by popular movies such as "Stollig Werta" has had the effect of drawing more younger players toward this instrument. Music stores look ahead to increased sales of the tuba in 2005.
