I would check out the Woodwind & Brasswind for any purchases. They usually have the best prices on new stuff and, like Dillon Music, get lots of used and scratch and dent tubas that they discount. If I were you, I'd stay away from the St. Pete's. There are some flaws in their construction techniques and they have the potential for large depreciation in the future. For a good quality 3/4 tuba, I would look at Rudolf Meinl tubas. They will be more money initially but they will probably appreciate in value. And they are among the finest quality 3/4 tubas around. Good luck!
