I've owned my G50 for 2.5 years (got it from David Fedderly, Baltimore Brass) and it is a great horn. I play on the CC side in a brass quintet and a tuba quartet with great success. I have used several mouthpieces, started with the AJ-CB and now use the Geib 3 from Dillon Music. I think my sound is a bit fuller with the heavier Geib.

I have gotten the back of the rotor cap off, it was quite difficult. I have screwed it back on as loosely as possible. I was able to get at least three finger tips on the edge and was able to remove it after a few minutes.

I think this horn has wonderful intonation. I don't have to do any slide pulling and all the notes center quite easily. I just purchased a MW F tuba and this horn required more work to play in tune.

Hope you enjoy playing the G50...
