Yeah, I know what you mean, but companies sell what people want. If we could poll this list, there are an awful lot of folks who want a horn like the big Yorks. I think subconsciously we all think, 'if I had that horn, I could be principal in the CSO'. Also, consider the cost of designing a tuba this large, not knowing how it will sound. Unless it clearly surpasses the York sound, no one will buy it, and you're out MANY $$$.
I, for one, would have NO use for such a tub, but I'd still like to have one. I could fill it with water to wash all my other horns...
