I had the same experience down here. When I first started looking around for a really big horn, I had the Kurath CC sent down here for a trial. It felt to me like a tank; almost no response but the projection was way too much for the orchestra I play in. It also had some intonation quirks that I wasn't crazy about especially since I found the valve slides a little difficult to reach. But the worst thing was simply trying to carry the thing around. This was the heaviest tuba I've ever carried. And by a lot too. Most of the weight seemed to be in the bell and so it was also fairly unbalanced to hold. But that tuba could play loud like you couldn't believe!

My opinion for what its worth...
