as a tubist myself I can tell you it's insane playing that high - the low ones I'd be able to do with a bit of effort but if I even attempted to hit one of the probably 10 highest notes he did here my lips would probably just burst. I'd also recommend checking out jon sass, he's a bit more unorthodox occasionally. it's not necessarily this register but there's some borderline alien stuff in what he does
