I'm trying to help a colleague find a decent BBb horn for her middle school son, who shows signs of becoming a serious tubaist. His father was a brilliant tubaist, and his uncles were both very talented, so maybe it's running in the family. Would anyone in the know please weigh in with your opinions on the VMI 103 (2103?; 3103?) as a horn for a serious middle school or high school student? This boy is adult-sized, so the size of the horn is not really a concern.
