I agree that the Yamaha 201 is a perfectly acceptable horn for getting back into playing. It was actually my very first tuba. If you can find any playable horn for substantially less that $650, you are usually doing pretty well. It's a fine playable horn with a fine sound. The intonation is OK. . . obviously it's not a top notch pro horn, but there's nothing wrong with it, especially at that price. . .
