The 2155 is a pretty good tuba, but if you're looking for an all-around horn, you can do better for the price. I would recommend a Miraphone 186 or one of the new Conn CC tubas if you're looking for a tuba that can do most everything. I owned a 2155 for 5 years. The tuba has a beautiful sound, and projects better than any CC tuba its size, but the response is horrible, the pitch isn't good, the valves are bad, and the right hand position is quite uncomfortable. It's not a good small ensemble horn because its response makes playing soft a huge pain. On top of this, it's heavy as hell. Don't buy it. I could recommend several tubas that play better for the same or less money.
