I dunno. I always thought the 621 configuration worked better as an F than as a contrabass. The C's aren't bad by any means, but the BBb's are a bit stuffy unless you approach them in the right way. The F's feel big and the contrabasses feel small.

The CC tuba that feels to me most like the 621 F is the Getzen G-50. This may not seem sensible, but that's how it feels to me. The sound isn't the same, but the response is quite similar.
