Thank you to the many who have taken the time to educate us on the world of tubas. A couple have written us very nice private replies which we appriciate very much. We have not replied yet as life became very consuming with the end of the marching season and BOA Grand Nationals.

We have decided to purchase a Getzen G50 for our high school freshman. We have become quite comfortable that we have made the right decision and that this is the right horn for him. We are even starting to get over the sticker shock. VERY early indications are that this horn is going to encourage him to become the best player he can become.

We wil be driving back up to South Bend tomorrow night to return the MW2145 and pick up the hard case for the Getzen which they luckily found. We are hoping to purchase a moutpiece as well with a PT50 being perhaps our first choice at the outset.

I would appriciate any comments on this mouthpiece or alternatives, as well as any insight in how to tell the "right" mouthpiece. What sounds best and feels best to our son? Any other criteria?

Thanks again for all of your help.
