I am looking for an inexpensive BBflat tuba to get back into playing. I am partial to front action. (I played a tank Besson in college back in the 60's and had to sit on a pillow just to reach the mouthpiece!) I also had a Miraphone CC 1865U for a while but never got used to transposing and finally sold it. Now I want to get back into playing but can't afford a lot of dough. I will probably just be doing brass quintet and maybe a community band or orchestra. I would appreciate any thoughts as to a good horn to look for, and information on any horns that you may have available.
