I currently own a Bohm & Meinl F tuba (made by Walter Nirschl), formerly owned by John Tuinstra. He bought it back in '85 and put a lot of custom work into it (vented valves, 4th valve slide trigger, larger 4th valve slide, removed leadpipe, etc.) that helped the intonation and response. It's a very unique-sounding horn, the high range absolutely sings. I like it very much! I don't know that I would sell it, I guess just consider this an endorsement. They can be very good when tweaked just right, and they're also a bit easier on the checking account than many others.

Just my 200 lire.
