Look at Baltimore Brass. They have one. Also, tuba players are like packrats. They never sell anything unless they need the money. A tuba, after a while, becomes a part of you, and it's really hard to part with one. So don't expect to get the Holton anytime soon. I still have a trombone from the Dark Days of my short music career, and I can still play it, not that I'm inclined to(tuba playing is so much fun compared to the trombone!) I wouldn't sell the 187 unless it was a Rudy Meinl Bayreuth that was available to me. It takes more than money to acquire a tuba. You must like it first, and there's no guarantee you'd like the Holton just becvause Rick likes it.
