Some artists playing primarily German F tubas on their recordings might be:
Michael Lind
Gene Pokorny
Dan Perantoni
Jens Bjorn-Larrson
There are many others, I'm sure, but these guys all come to mind quickly. I really love the sound of the German F for its heroic quality. I find many of the new designs (Hirsbrunner and Yamaha for example) to be rather dull in sound.
For me, the B&S, Alex, Meinl Weston horns all have a very interesting character. They are all harder to make sense out of, but some things are worth the effort!
