Randy,

Thanks for the kind comments. I think the MW 2155 has a similar valve set-up to the MW 2145, so it might not be for you. The Conn 52J and 56J have smaller valves, with oversize buttons. The thumb-ring is also adjustable on them. For an all-around tuba, I would favor the 56J over the 52J, but other tubists have different opinions.

The new Miraphone 188 is in the same price range as the MW 2145 and Conn 52J/56J(~$6000), and might work for you. Another one to consider is the Rudy Meinl piston valve CC tuba.

Good luck on your search.
