Well, what I meant was that there ought to be some general differences between German/European F tubas on one hand and other F tuba models on the other to explain the general differences in tone quality. If almost all German/European F tubas are stuffy in the register just below the staff and other models generally are not, construction differences should be possible to find.
>They're wrapped tighter than the CCs, BBbs and compensating Ebs. . . I think that's why so many of them are stuffy.
