5 valve Eb's

Posted by Scott on September 20, 2000 at 22:54:28:

I own a compensating Eb tuba, but I'm toying with the idea of selling it for a 5 valve (I just can't get myself to like the compensating system). I know the Walter-Nirschl's and the Willson's reputation, and I've played the Meinl-Weston and didn't like it at all, so I'm wondering about other horns.

Any opinions on the Gronitz Eb?

Is it true that Rudy Meinl makes an Eb? Does anyone know where I could try out such a horn?

Are there any other 5V Eb's out there?

Thanks,
Scott
