You are mistaken in your belief that you can buy an instrument more cheaply from CMC than if you went to Europe and bought it yourself. Here's an itemized rebuttal to your claim:

Instrument: $14000
import tax: $406
Tubas are taxed at 2.9% Check out the US Customs link. Tuba is ref. #9205.10)

Airfare from East Coast to Munich: $496 (low price (AT) travelocity.com)
hotel/food/public transportation for one week: ~$1000
Oversize charge to fly home with tuba: $~125 (depends on airline)

Total cost: ~$15,902
Not having to deal with Custom Music: Priceless.

Trust me on this--I've done it.
