Thanks to all who replied to my fingerings post last weekend. I am progressing quite well learning the EEb fingerings (so long as I stay away from accidentals and sharp keys - hey it's been one week!). Now I'm in love with the sound of an eefer and want my own badly (presently I have a loaner). I play in several ensembles ranging from a 15 piece polka band to a couple of large community bands, not to mention a few tuba solos at church every now & then. I am finding that 4 valves are a minimun requirement to play below BBb without false tones, so I am interested in a large EEb with 4-5 valves that woud go well with all settings. Any recomendations? So far I like the Meinl Weston and the Willson, although the Willson is pretty steep.
