Hey there tubagirl,
I have no idea how much money you have, however,
A Saint Petersburg is a decent tuba FOR THE MONEY.
I heard Sean play on one and it didn't make me go
UGH! like the other ones did in that price range.
Also, I heard him play on that new cool looking
Conn (what is the name of it again?) you know,
the one with the "frosted nickle" silver laquer.
This tuba sounded good too and was a rather small
LOOKING tuba.
If your parents are willing to shell out about
$3000-$4000, you could find one of these used,
I believe. I don't remember how much they cost,
but I do know that they were cheaper than some
of the other models.
Ebay is a good source for looking for a tuba
and bidding for one. Just make sure that the
person that is selling the thing is reputable.
