Yeah, I play one of those since 1995. The horn was used the day before I got it to premiere the John Williams concerto with the Grant Park Orchestra in Chicago, Fritz K. tubbist. So it was a "used" horn. It sounds pretty good; intonation is reasonable both in high and low ranges with an Elliott mp. I played about 5 brands of F tubas present at the '95 tuba event at NW U and the Hirs worked best for me, B & S second best, Yammer a blah. So Fred Marrich let me have it for just under $10K. Actually it's my best horn, even better than the Hirs CC.
Try one, you may like it.
