Anyone played on this beast?

It looks awesome. Just curious.

Also, has someone sent Matt Walters a message?

I emailed him a few says ago about the forum stuff. Didn't hear back. Maybe he's on vacation or doing actual work instead of online tuba talk.

I like to toot on this when I’m in the shop. It makes a very nice sound and is nimble for its size. I already have a good BBb, so I haven’t seriously play tested it and checked it with a tuner. But knowing the designer, it probably does well in the intonation department.

I just looked it up and realized that I played this at the army workshop in 2019. I was very impressed with it, I thought it played great and would be a great BBb tuba for just about anybody
