Ike, this is not an attack on you or your instrument just a different opinion. I am not a fan the Getzen tuba. A nice, dark sound but the overall stuffieness in the high and low range of the instrument was almost unbearable, especially below F four lines under the staff. The D above the staff was also very difficult to play as well. Maybe I just played a bad one, but I for the amount of money a G50 costs new (7,000 big ones) I would suggest a look elsewhere.
