I really hate to be so, well, down like this, but why a Yamaha, and in particular, the YBB-321?!!! Believe me--this tuba, used or new, has nothing but a bad reputation and a curse worse than the Sterling-Perantucci euphoniums. I play one in my school band, and all I can say is that if you don't mind changing out the piston valve guides every few weeks, lugging around a bulkier-than-hell case, dealing with a tone remniscent of a diesel engine at ppp at all times, be my guest (I exaggerated on the tone quality, but it is still horrible). I'm writing this to ensure that no one else will suffer the same fate as hundreds of fellow intermediate tubists who use this not EVEN mediocre instrument. Use that money to buy a VMI or another German-made horn, not this Asian crap Even a St. Petersburg, while not that badof a tuba, really, looks like a York compared to this. Believe me--you'll thank me later.
