on the topic of 56j vs. G-50, look at the general resale value of both horns, which isn't impressive. The resale value of the 56j's(not that they're finally on the resale market) is following the same trend as the G-50's. Look used, or buy a miraphone(I honestly never thought I'd say that). Otherwise, unless you're positive that this will be your 'tuba for life', you can expect to take a 30% loss on it(perhaps a little less on the 56j, though a teacher of mine just nabbed a 52j for $4,000.. that's aboot a 40% loss to the person who was selling).


That said, both are GREAT GREAT horns, and even I would probably purchase one or the other if the money was in the bank.
