I know that Besson made a few 3+1 compensated CCs. I believe there was mention of one in Bevan's "The Tuba Family". I've seen one sell through Dillon music quite a number of years ago. One also was sold by Baltimore brass in the somewhat recent past. It came out of the stable of the famous...

I would definitely check out the mac brass 5v, bigger belled version of the Yamaha 621. I have an older friend who has a 621 BB-flat and a Jupiter 4/4 BB-flat. He plays the 621 day to da...

I need somebody of "tuba importance" to justify at least 7 so I can delete my post and show it to my wife later. :)
