Has anyone heard Tommy Johnson play his Yamaha 822 F that was made into a true double tuba by Rob Stewart? Has anyone tried it themselves? Are the low range fingerings truly simplified? Does it still have plenty of projection? Any comments on the pros and cons? For those of us who don't want to lug around different horns, tieing up 12 to 15K for decent equipment, could this be the answer? Is this finally the tuba community's workable response to what the horn community worked out decades ago? Probably not, but curious minds want to know. Thanks in advance.
