I'm new to this BBS, but it looks like a great place to get info!  So, I have a question for all you tubists out there.  What do any of you think about the Meinel-Weston 45?  Is the six valve version better than the 5 vavle version?  How is the rotor action?  Craftsmanship?  I want to know everything about the Meinl-Weston F tubas, and the 45 in particular.  Why?  Well, I'm going to be needing a good F in the near future.  Thanks for all your help!
