High out there! Can anyone give some advice on 5/4 BBb tubas? I need it for band playing. Until this year there had been three other tubas in the band, but now I'm the only one. A 4/4 Miraphone just isn't getting a big enough sound for mezzo forte and above. I'm getting lost in the band, which plays very dark and well balanced most of the time, which is why I need a big, dark tuba sound.

I'm thinking about a Cerveny 701. I don't know of any other brands out there. Can someone please help me?

Thanks,
Jason
