I have seen many and played on many.

the tuba is a very open wrap tuba with slanted valves which makes the hand position very comfortable like some of the old Marzans.

Markus Theinert likes it alot and plays one. I like the tuba and the way it plays as well. It has an .800 bore on the first 3 valves and .840 on the 4th. It is very open and free blowling. you can get a very big sound with this tuba.
with me the problem is I am only 5'5 and this is a tall tuba and tall wrap and ergonomically it did not fit me very well at all. Markus is taller and this tuba would fit a taller tuba player better. Very nice tuba if you ever play one.

Item 170089A07000 is the product code to look for in instruments. it is on the 2nd page of BBb rotary tubas on the instrument click down.
