have since owned a compensating E-flat for quite some time, and love it.
I decided to go to Eb to buck the F trend… I love playing Eb as well; it’s the best quintet and brass ensemble horn. I own an F and do more with it because of how some solos fall with fingerings but I am definitely holding on to the Eb I bought from you, Bloke.
Staying with topic, I’ve played a few Willson tubas but never understood the glamour. They played well and had a nice sound but rather generic and like everyone has said: HEAVY. I get the feeling that some of the horns were real winners and others were just ‘ok’. Perhaps the new ownership has ideas about what can make the line more appealing. I had heard some good things about the Merlin.
