It doesn't surprise me that Vince told you that. He once told me that the St. Pete's were better than any B&S tubas.
"different" Models, the same tuba. I've had one of each(which MAY be why I chose to post anonymously ;) ...different rotor linkages it the only real difference... the only I got from Germany only cost'd me $900(plus my expenses of flying to Germany, which were paid for by the organization for which I was there in the first place) vs $2x00 that Vince charges. All in all, I preferred the one I got in Germany... not because of the different rotor linkages, but because it was a better horn overall(it probably helped that I had a good 2 dozen to choose from in Germany, vs. about 3 to choose from at the time in NC).
