You've done well, and unlike many parents you seem to "get it." Congratulations on the new horn. Your daughter is lucky.
The real advantage to buying a horn with known intrinsic value is that if she doesn't stick with it, or when it comes time to upgrade, the little Weril will have retained a lot of value. You might find that you are only paying $800 or so for the use of a tuba for several years. That's a good deal by any reckoning.
