How does it play? How much does it cost? How much does it weigh? Is it a full double tuba or is it like a compensating long set on the CC side? I would think there would be a lot of interest in a double tuba if someone could make it workable. . . think of being able to switch after doing Petruska or Bydlo or the Mahler #1 solo or Blues from Divertimento for band without having to change horns. . . or in pit orchestras where they want you to do ridiculous high and low stuff. .. or especially when trying to travel taking one horn would be so much nicer than taking two. . . Is it as free blowing as most alex's? How's the intonation?

thanks for any info,
T. J. Ricer
