In order of importance:
1) Meinl-Weston 32 (Luckily I own this one)
2) B&S PT-10 F(A GOOD one)
3) Rudy Meinl 5/4 CC (need one like a hole in the head right now)
4) Willson 2975 (The tubaist/tubist euphonium!)
Being as I only need one horn, I got what I wanted. However, as my income exponentially grows (ha), I WILL get these other horns. The only one that is a question mark would be the F, seeing has how good B&S F's once found do not leave their owner's hands very often. The alternative would potentially be one of those little Cerveny F's that Dillon's gets or a GOOD Meinl-Weston 45. But F tuba shopping is sometimes a crap shoot. And I, like Rick Denney, salivate at the thought of owning one of those Willson Mini-Tubas. That is what it looks like and seems to sound and act like, so it must not be a lowly euphonium! But it could be a very interesting alternative for extremely light quintet work and high orchestral literature as it isn't that much smaller than a MW-182 F tuba.
