Gronitz 125 (? the piston one)
Yamaha 822
I've heard that the MW2182 is awesome
the firebird (miraphone, mirafone?) in gold brass is nice
Go to Dillon when you get a chance, or have them send you some stuff on trial, or custom , I'm not sure where to get a gronitz (Tuba Exchange?) and you can get an 822 pretty much anywhere.

Hi! Make sure you try a Gronitz F (PF-125 or 127) and the new miraphone 281!
I bought my silver pf-125 from Tony Clements in California! Contact him!

I've played both and have listened to Roger Lewis play both -- dramatically different instruments.
Would you mind sharing your thoughts on these two, and what prompted the change? If it were me in this situation, after I tried the 281, I finally found a rotary F tuba with a decent low C, and that would have been a potential motivator to switch to a rotary F -- assuming I also wanted to go to a much brighter sound.
Interesting,
