I am going to break from the pack with the standard advice, and suggest you
call the tuba player in your local orchestra and ask to take a lesson from them.
The BEST thing you can do for your playing is NOT buyuing a horn - it is taking lessons,
it is the ONLY way you can get consistent advice that is more-or-less objective about your
playing, what works for you, and in thime the relationship you establish with your
teacher will help you know (and detect) more about yourself as a player. With that
in mind (and assuming you are not studying with someone yet) all the dialog about
which horn is best for you (especially with people who haven't heard you play)
is really mental gymnastics ... a lot of data is available but unless it is sorted through
properly it will never be useful information to you (and a teacher can help you
sort through the data and with YOU in mind get useful information out of it!)
