Sorry about the old german tuba-thing again, but it says bass tuba, and that´s what Strauss certainly had in mind. An instrument below horns and ´bones, to connect the brass with low strings, and an overall orchestral setting, not a tuba-concerto. so I´d allways go for a rotary rather slimmish F like u find them at WM or Rudy´s or preferably a good old slim 5valved Alex F.
FWIW
