When it comes to this question, one might consider generations. Personally, I think those of us in the 20 - 30 year old range, have to look to Tony Kniffen. He is our generation's, again in my opinion, front-runner.
In an older group, I believe we have to look at Matt Good. He is the Tuba player with the Dallas Symphony currently and was in Jacksonville before that. He is a great tuba player.
Everyone mentioned the names that are the obvious choices. These are two that should be considered. Especially those of us who are out there auditioning.
