Sam plays mainly a customized Meinl Weston Bill Bell model. His Bell models all have fixed upright bells instead of the detachable bell like the ones that are in the brasswind catalog. Sam has played these many times and has told me that over the years he has owned 37 different Bill Bell model tubas. His current F is an older Meinl Weston. I'm not sure of the model number is though. He also has spent some time with B&S Perantucci tubas, and said that now he can just about pick whatever he wants because B&S Perantucci, VMI, and Meinl Weston all have some kind of business connection.
