Steve,

Interesting, because I came to a similar conclusion as you did. I tried a Willson Eb, and since the high register wasn't particularly great on this one horn (maybe other ones are better in that regard), I thought to myself, "why not just settle for a good 3/4 CC instead?". Because I can only afford one tuba at this time, and becuase I mostly want to do quintets and jazz, I went for the Besson 983 Eb instead. It's a bit more like a true "bass tuba", or F tuba . Someday, I'll pick-up a decent 5/4 CC too, but only when things change in my own life. I'm working on it.
