I am very interested in trying out the MW 182 F tuba. I live in L.A. area California and would like to know where I can go to try this tuba out. My teacher, John Van Houten, is selling his B&S F tuba with Mirafone bell for $4000, but would like to try the 182 before I buy his tuba. I would like to try out small F tubas (3/4). I already tried the YFB-621 with an 18" golden bell (a rare model) but didn't like it too much.
Just to know this tuba a little more, how are low notes' stuffiness and the intonation. Thank you for your help.

P.S. How does the sound compared to the B&S F w/ Mirafone bell if anyone knows.
