You should definitely be playing your Rochut etudes down the octave. This is pure musicianship for the tuba. You might try the Tyrrell Advanced Studies, they aren't very difficult technically and they stay in the comfortable range of the tuba. You can find the Kopprasch written in the tuba octave as well.
Contact Tony Clements, who posts frequently on this board, for questions about Alexander tubas. His new tuba store is the only one I know of selling them new here in the US.
