CC tubas:
HB-2= HBS-290 (4/4 rotary)
HB-6= HBS-293 (5/4 rotary)
HB-2P= HBS-390 (original piston)
HB-21= HBS-392 (newer design, large bore)
HB-20= HBS-394 (newer design, medium bore)
HB-50= HBS-510 (6/4 York copy)

F tubas:
HB-8= HBS-288 (small rotary F)
HB-9= HBS-289 (larger rotary F)
HB-10= HBS-388 (small piston F)
HB-12= HBS-389 (larger piston F)

Also, Goldbrass + handmade, interchangable leadpipe are the options you get (cost more of course) in Switzerland. For the price you pay Custom Music, you get regular (non-handmade,yellowbrass+ silver-plated) ones for the price of Goldbrass, handmade ones (if purchased from Hirsbrunner directly). I don't know if Custom Music is offering those options.

Since Custom Music is the only authorized dealer in U.S. and Canada, if you decide to not go through Custom Music, you'll need to go to Switzerland to pick up your tuba.
