News: Alex tubas ARE better than the old ones,
so are Mirafones,
Meinls,
Meinl Westons (for the most part)
even Hirsbrunners.
of course, retrofits of significantly-changed components are always available at (often) very reasonable costs, but remember, there is still no guarantee that a new horn (or reworked one) will automatically "be better" .... which makes me wonder, what qualifications one would need to authoritatively determine what "better" really is?
