I had the student line, Regent, Boosey & Hawkes, non-compensating BBb tuba. It was only a 3 valve, but it was a great playing horn. I, however don't like to castrate my tubas, so I left the ball on the bottom. It was too tall to hold on my lap, but the perfect height when set on a chair. Without the ball it would have been too low. It was also a nice size and weight and nicely balanced for playing standing.
