I may be incorrect, but I think you're talking about the F version of the G50. If so, I got a chance to play a prototype at the Southeast Regional Tuba/Euph Confrence last year. While I'm sure they've made a host of improvements since then, so this may no longer be valid, I didn't like the horn at all. I found it to be very stuffy, and not very responsive. Also, it's a very short, small horn, so if you're tall (I'm 6'4"), it's very uncomfortable to play. All in all, I found the horn to be very awkward, both in the physical construction of the instrument and in playability.
