Rex Martin once wrote to the tuba list -
"If someone wanted to have one tuba to do everything, I
think the Boosey with a 19" bell would be a wise choice."
(i.e. the 982). The Boosey 981/982/983 are relatively
low cost yet are played by pros. I happen to have a 982
for sale in great condition for way less than $4000.
See tubadave's for my ad.
