You should NOT buy an F tuba first. 90% of your playing will be done on CC (or BBb). You should buy a top quality medium large to large CC (or BBb) and get so you can play anything on that. Add the f later. When I auditioned for San Jose Symphony, I had a 186 that I play most everything on and a 184 that I used for my F tuba. I had a euph just for Bydlo. After I was in the symph for a year or two, I added an F. This did me just fine.
