Hi amioutaline - again, I have never heard of a Wagner tuba ever being used for "Bydlo," and I am a horn player with experience on the instruments (horn players are always the ones who play Wagner tuben, as they require horn mouthpieces). If the tuba player plays it (which they must, when auditioning for an orchestra), they use their F tuba. If they do not actually want to play it, or the conductor doesn't want them to, then normally someone from the trombone section, or perhaps the tuba player, plays it on the euphonium. In my orchestra, the second trombone player plays it on a euphonium. I have actually always thought it would be kind of cool to do it on a Wagner tuba, but I have never heard of this actually happening anywhere. Another famous euphonium solo that I would love to try on a Wagner tuba would be the opening solo in the Mahler 7th symphony (ambiguously scored for "tenor tuba", and there are still raging debates on what instrument he actually had in mind).
