If you are willing to learn CC, there is a Meinl Weston "William Bell" model for sale posted on 6/24 by John (looks like a good price). See the description of this tuba on the Meinl Weston home page. These are excellent smaller tubas (.689" bore, 16.6" bell, rotary valves). Sam Pilafian used one of these tubas in the Empire Brass Quintet for awhile.
good luck,
