I am, personally, a fan of Eb tuba over F tuba. . . My experiences line up with the other posters in that I have not found an F that I felt great about and even some lower level Eb's seem to get the job done. . . I'm playing a four valve Yamaha Eb 321 for the second tuba part of Symphonie Fantastique this weekend and for the recording and the lead tubist will be on an F, I don't think anyone cares as long as we play in tune. . .
