Last year (2015) at the Army Band Tuba conference Baltimore Brass had one of those at their display. I was very tempted but the price was pretty high. Have a 19" Boosey and it has been my main horn for 30 years. I would like to play around with a 15" model.

Has anyone ever successfully cut an Eb Boosey/Besson down to F? If feasible it might actually be easier then learning to read & mash in Eb.

Don't think it really works cutting these.
Besson did make 3+1 comp F's in fairly small numbers which some folk like. I've played a few which all had more pitch issues than I care for but I guess some are better than others!
If you REALLY want a comp F, Walter Nirschl will build you one...
