Re: MW Ursus
Easy to play
Really big low range
For me -- the 5th valve was outrageously uncomfortable, and the throw was a mile long.
Intonation was fine
I likes the tuba overall, but the fifth valve -- for me -- was a disaster

Re: MW Ursus
Super expensive for what it is. I like how they play, but the B&S Pt-606P is practically the same horn for way less money.
Good low range
Pretty good intonation
Weird leadpipe- Not big enough to justify the weird angle they designed it with.
