The F tuba with the best lower range that I've ever played was the Wilson F- the next horn in line was the Yamaha 822 (but overall it sounds pretty band). However, I'm an Eb player and thought that the low range on the Wilson wasn't as near as good as the low range on any Eb. I try to compare the valve combinations (as opposed to low CC or BBb). The Wilson Eb and the Bessons (I play a 983) have very good low ends- along with the good high range of an F tuba. It's the best of both worlds and the most bang for the buck.

just my $0.02
