Commenting on my own experiences, military bands provide an instrument for a member. With my job, I was given the choice of playing a previously owned tuba (Yorkbrunner, HB-6 or Getzen G-50), or getting my own. I chose the latter, and just got a copy of my 5/4 rudy CC. I think this is almost standard practice, depending on the branch.
any others comment?
