As I said before, I am about 6'4" with a sleeve length of 38.5". That is long. So, in order to contour around, I had to make some big adjustments. I had a DEG tuba rest at its highest setting...did not bode well for the wrist. It is a GREAT horn, just to compact for this big body. I was not that educated on tubas when I made the purchase. I hade just seen/heard Chuck D. at a conference and was blown away. I figured "he get's that sound on that horn...me want!" My parents made the sacrifice and took out a 2nd mortagage to buy it. It did get me through college on a full scholarship, so it paid its dues for sure. I did get a great sound on it, it just cost too much in the way of pain.
