I�m a seventeen year-old tubist in the market for a CC tuba (new or used). I�ve read through many past posts, and it seems that the two York copies (the Yorkbrunner and the Walter Nirschl) are the most popular. As you may have guessed I�m heading off to college in 2001, and I want the best general purpose tuba I can find. Are these 6/4�s too much for anything other than symphony playing? What great �Jacobsian� sounding slightly smaller tubas are there (i.e. how does the Hirsbrunner 4/4 stack up against the Nirschl 4/4)?
