I certainly dig my Yorkbrunner, but I have become a Yamaha man of late. I recently got a YFB-621 F tuba that is so easy to play. It doesn't have the sound my Rudy F had, but it flies like an eagle and I love it. I also recently got a Doug Yeo YBL-622 bass trombone that has fantastic sound, balance, and a faster slide that any trombone I've tried.
The Yorkbrunner is number one, but I have been thinking recently of selling it and buying five or six Jupiter tubas. I hear these are fantastic horns and I would like to have a tuba in every room of my apartment.

I seem to remember hearing rumors that one of the astronauts had asked the folks at Jupiter to send their model 2 prototype (aluminum-magnesium alloy & carbon-fiber construction, weighed around 3 pounds) up to the ISS for a bit of microgravity test-playing, but that (somewhere between launch and docking) it had disappeared ... oh, the pain, the pain ...MellowSmokeMan wrote:The Yorkbrunner is number one, but I have been thinking recently of selling it and buying five or six Jupiter tubas.

Rick "suggesting that every tuba on the market meets some unique set of requirements" Denney
p.s., One of the requirements you may define is "an instrument that is known to be decent so that it will not hold me back while I get good enough to tell for myself what my own favorite might be". Even that requirement could be met by a wide range of instruments. R "who owns a Holton, York Master, Miraphone, B&S, and Yamaha, and finds they are all favorites for particular situations" D
