I bought a Weril for use by smaller students in my studio. I have one young lady who is only 4'9" and this suits her very well. It is 4 valves and will sell for $1695, lacquered, brand new but no case. I got mine at Baltimore Brass, through telephone order and confirmation and it shipped UPS, a great saving. You have a one week trial on it and have to pay only shipping if you return it. The horn plays very nicely, it is a 3/4 BBb tuba (they also make a CC version) small enough to handle by a small person. I wish you happiness and success with your return to tubadom. See if you can get a couple of lessons from Marty E. at Penn State. Baltimore brass is in the shops link for this page; David Fedderly runs it and is very easy to deal with.
