New Hilger B&S F

Post by joh_tuba »

Has anyone had a go at the B&S 3099QW?

I'm intrigued.

There was - or is - a video of somebody demonstrating the horn. Sure enough, the low notes off the quint valve sounded pretty full. I'd want to know how well the high range plays. I would like similar tuba like this, but in G. Then the quint valve would sound the low C (and the fourth valve "D").
