Ok, I have been going through buyer hell with tubas. I'm 18, fresh out of high school looking a versitle, front action piston, preferably 5/4 (or large 4/4) tuba. The MW 2155slp looks like a pretty dman good horn, but I have never even played one. The only ones I have found are out on the east coast...(balt brass, tuba exchange). This is a really sensative purchase for me, and could effect my playing. I really need to play the horn before I buy it.
DOES ANYONE sell freaking tubas in the bay area, the los angeles area, or anywhere on the west coast!?! or does anyone even HAVE one of these horns on the west coast?! If so, I just would want to try it!
I'm looking for a good tuba dealer on the west coast..help!!!!
