You are tailor made for a Weril BBb tuba. It is 4 valve, 3/4 size, and about the same size as a Yamaha YBB621 (of which it is a clone). I have one and it plays very well, I use it for younger student's lessons. The news best of all is the price, around $1700. You will also want to purchase a gig bag and a case and that will add to the cost but no where near the $5500 or so price of the Yamaha. Contact Dave Fedderly, at Baltimore Brass (see shops at the top of the page). He is honest and fair and his prices are very good. Also, Shipping of these horns can be done by UPS and this is a great saving.
