OK, here's the tuba in my head:

It has a sound which is dark and has presence but also has a directness in its projection; not too marshmallow-like or woofy/wafty.
It will have easily managed intonation- top to bottom.
Needs good ease of execution in the low register (agility?).
Workhorse for all but smallest ensemble use so must be flexible.
New or old it doesn't matter.
Oh yeah, the Key is Bb...

I don't have anything particular in mind, I'd just like to know what horn(s) anyone thinks fits my description and how exactly??

Thank you.
