This is the one we've been waiting for:
- 32" height
- 14" bell
- .615" bore
- 4 piston valves
- A=440
- entire F overtone series is spot-on (I lucked out, huh?)
- False tones are responsive. (' didn't expect it, but they are.)
_______________
- Bydlo?....................ABSOLUTELY! This tuba IS the solution to this "problem".
- Mendelsohn literature?....perfect
- Solos?....................yep, particularly the "air varie" lit.
- quintet?..................maybe
- jazz band?................if on tour, doubling on bass, cramped for luggage space, and if well mic'ed and eq'ed fatter
- polka band?...............no question
- concert band?.............limited use
- formerly an Eb tuba?......
...maybe
:^)
A nice stand-and-play with both a tuff and pretty l'il sound.
