I am a 822 owner and a proud one. The horn does what I need it to do right now. It is a fabulous BQ horn and other chamber music. It is hard to tell that it is an F tuba though. The low range and response is unbeatable and comparing to other F tubas I have tried only matched by the 45SLP. Basically if you are looking for a traditional German F sound then this horn is not for you as others have said. If you are looking for one that can do it all whether it be ensemble or solo work than it is a horn you might want to consider. Hey if you got the bucks take a look at the Hirshbrunner F as well. Great tuba but very expensive.
