Response and intonation are both very good. The response is helped by the inclusion of Martin Wilk's intermediate valves--not as open as the better known MAW valves, and avoiding negatives some find with those valves. I have used this type of valve on 3 B&S tubas since learning of them several years ago. They offer the additional advantage of being faster than the stock valves due to a more slippery surface than the stock B&S valves. The stock valves will be included.
Priced at 4,700, including a Miraphone bag that fits well, and both sets of valves. Again the tuba is in Columbus OH, and I do not want to ship the tuba.
