there is no brand new 4/4 marching-convertable silver plated BBb tuba for $2500.
It's a s-t-r-e-t-c-h to refer to that little Jupiter as a "4/4" size tuba, with it's 15" bell, and your wonderful new Jupiter is almost identical to your Dynasty tubas...to the point of their country of origin (Taiwan) and possibly a great deal of parts interchangability
Finally, if your band is really dead-set on buying virtually the same thing you already have - except with a different name stamped on the bell - Music123 seems to have the lacquered ones for $1900, and I would imagine that if Music123 has lacquered ones for $1900, they should be able to beat $2500 on a silver plated one, if ordered.
