Hello-
I have run across a large MW f tuba with 6 rotors (4 right hand, 2 left hand). It looks like a good horn but I don't know anything about the company. The owner told me he purchased it direct from the factory (somewhere in Germany) in the mid-80's. The horn itself looks well-used, like it could date from 1975 or earlier. Generally speaking, what are the pros and cons of MW horns? I have an old Rudy CC I've been using since college. Would the MW F tuba have similar overall quality (relatively speaking) because of the "Meinl" name? Any info is appreciated!
Thanks,
