Sam,

I played 2 different Amati tubas through high school, and I absolutely hated both of them. Granted, the first one was very old, and completely held together withh duct tape (that stuff fixes everything), but the other was was brand new, and still played like garbage. Poor sound quality, poor projection, intonation was funky...it was a mess. From what I understand, other horns in the Amati line are no better. Try and get to Dillon's (if that's physically possible for you) and play the hornn yourself, and you can form your own opinion. Based on previous experience with Amati, though, I would continue looking.
