I have the Thein cc tuba with 5 piston valves.
It is made on my requisite and is all hand made. It took some meetings with the Thein brothers to make it perfect. I used to play a Hirsbrunner but felt it has a "stif" sound which is hard to change. The Thein is made of thin gold brass, which makes it easy to manipulate, and melt into a stringbass section.
It is perfect in a brass section, especialy if they all play Thein (like in my orchestra- Royal Danish Orchestra). Thein instruments melt together like an organ.
I can only recomend it, the price is about 35.000 DM.
