In Reply to: 46S-LP "Titan"? posted by Kristian kifa on February 27, 2001 at 06:24:44:
The Meinl-Weston 46S-LP "Titan" is the 6 valve version of the 45S-LP.
The "Titan" was developed together with Mel Culbertson - this model is serving the European players better as a lot of them are used to and prefer playing F-Tubas with 6 valves (5th and 6th valve left hand operated) instead of the US valve setup with 5 valves (where the 5th valve is operated mostly with the right hand thumb).
More details have now been uploaded to our website:

Sorry there is no picture of "Titan" yet as the Tuba is still at the photographer; I hope to be able to upload a photo still this week before we are all leaving for Frankfurt Musikmesse (March 7-11) next week - but this model will be with us at our booth 8.0 G 90.
Hope this helps.
