Hey Tuba people, I'm the one from the german
Musiktreff-Forum who took the pictures of the black plastic tuba mentioned above at the
Musikmesse in Frankfurt last week. I was able to play the black version with perinet valves myself and can confirm that it sounds very crappy. I would rather call it a toy, not a serious musical instrument.
But the other plastic tubas with rotary valves that you can see
here sound much better. Not comparable to metal-instruments but quite good for the fact that they are made of plastic.
