How many of you professional / semi-professional tubists know of or are someone that won a paying orchestra audition on a cut or "Frankentuba?" What are the downsides of these horns, such as projection issues, etc? Will these horns maintain resale value?

I am contemplating buying such a horn that seems to play as well as most of the "big" name tubas. but is much cheaper. All constructive feedback is appreciated.

Thanks.
