I think that you are absolutely on target. I think it relates to an earlier thread about comments on how good an instrument sounds, when it is the player making it sound that way. I, for one do like to talk about different instruments, their specifications and characteristics, but I think that is the engineer in me who likes to tinker. In general, big tubas have a larger sound than small tubas (yes this isn't absolute between models, brands, etc.), so using the right instrument for the right ensemble can make a difference, but I think that the search for the "perfect" tuba can often be the result of looking for a quick fix to not enough practicing. That said, I will still collect tubas, if only for the uniqueness of certain instruments as works of art.
