I would suggest you get a Besson compensating BBb tuba. The best in tune are the three valve models and they are the cheapest. You can get a good one for less than $3500. As far as the notes below low E you won't encounter them often and you can play them using the so-called false open tone Eb which Conn research lab showed conclusively to be the real fundamental of the BBb tuba. The pedal Bb is a preferred tone, only.
