I am wondering how this horn (56j) competes up against
a MW 2155 or 2000.
tone?, intonation?, sound quality?, high register?, low register?
In EVERY aspect!

Does the MW 2155/2000 have more of a "german" sound or "american" sound?

I prefer an "american" sound over a "german".
What other tubas have an "american" sound to them?

This will be my second horn ,mainly used for orchestra and big band stuff and depending on how well it will sound with a quintet ,I already have a horn that plays great for solo and quintet and it does an awesome job in our community band.(Conn 2j)

I have not played on a 56j yet , but i have played on a 52j and was VERY pleased.
I also have not played a 2155 or 2000, but have played on a 2145, i was happy with everything except the valve section.

I think I will be purchasing one of these after ITEC 2002, I hope to play these and many others at ITEC 2002. Do they allow spectators to go into the exhibits? Or is it just for those who are registered or competeing? If not, then how will I be able to go into the exhibits and other acivities?

Thanx in advance!
