I guess Chester using it in the BSO for some things doesn't make it professional enough for ya.....
Or Charles Dallenbach using in in the Canadian Brass.....
I really wonder what denotes a "professional" tuba anyhow. I've seen guys making money on old King 2341/1241's and even guys making money on old Conn 12J's. Good money. Not professional? Seems to me the same BS as GMC saying their turcks are now "Professional Grade". I guess the Chevy's that roll off the same assembly line are "Intermediate" models.
Just like those student model Mirafone's. I don't think the pro series is any better or worse, just different.
Besides, those getzen's don't stay on the market long, the seller won't need much luck.
