For those who have played a 4345, how does it compare with other tubas? I.E. what horn comes closest to the 4345? Or what aspects of which horns is the 4345 similar to?

When visually comparing pics of a 188 with the 4345 and with a 191 BBb, to see things like bell flare, taper, etc., the 4345 looks like a scaled-down version of the 191, with a bell flare proportions or shape (not actual dimensions) greater than the 188, but less than the 191. I'm wondering if the sound is somewhere in between these two horns, of if looks are deceiving! It will be interesting to see how the CC version of the 191 performs when it is unveiled . . . .
