I stop by the Thein shop every January when I'm performing in Bremen, Germany. It seems as though he and his brother have a new tuba designed each time! Because they are custom made tubas, they don't keep them in stock; maybe just one or two at the most, and only by special order. If you got the money, Thein will custom make a tuba to your exact specifications, pretty much, from leadpipe and valve placement to just about anything. Thein tubas are probably some of the best tubas I've ever played. I didn't actually have enough time to come up with a finalized opinion on his CC, but the 5 piston valve BBb (4 front piston with thumb activated 5th piston) model was amazing!
