I once chose to play Bruckner 6 on a Boosey 3 + 1 Eb, as opposed to an old Mirafone 188 CC that I owned at the time. While the piece doesn't really go way up high, most of the tessitura really isn't very low either. While I'm not trying to take anything away from the said mentioned European players, I'm also not surprised that Bruckner #6 sounded good on a big F tuba. Bruckner 8 would probably benefit from using a contrabass tuba, as much of the tessitura is really quite low. There are no extra horns or Wagner tubas in the 6th.
