mw 18 is an awesome 3/4 tuba. They also make really little touring tubas too but they are expenseive. The little yamahas 103 or 105 are nice and light.

I had a student who once had a Musica that was very small, like a piggy only in BBb.

Jupiter also make a yamaha 103/105 clone. (I forget which one has the upright valves and which one has the forward valves)

I taught band once upon a time, I bought myself a trumpet. Get yourself a mouthpiece now and build up a buzz. If you can buzz that mouthpiece you are ready for action.
