Slightly correct. The Tokyo Symphony tuba player(Isao Watanabe) has one but it is on loan until they seem fit to take it back. He is the only one who is playing one in Japan. There are only 5 that were made. Which means Jim Self, Norm Pearson and Isao Watanabe all have one. The other two are sitting at the factory in Shizuoaka,Japan. They have said those 2 are not for sale but they would be willing to make another one on an order by order basis. The price is going to be very expensive. For a person in Japan they have priced them at 4,000,000yen and with and exchange rate of I think 124-ish right now you do the math. I am interested but at that price I think I will stick with my Holton for a while.
