3/4 horns make good little trinkets to take on the bus but I don't think that they provide enough bottom end for the ensemble. Plus, the students have to be taught to move a lot more air when they get to high school and pick up that sousa or 4/4 horn. If I had the money, I would get Conn 20Js and never take them out of the Wenger Tuba Tamers. The little guys could use a Bach 18 or 24AW, then switch to a Helleberg when they get older. The tone of the band would be great.
