I wonder why every tuba pic I saw on this site:
http://www.musik-dotzauer.de/
looked a lot like a particular BBb one might find on this site: yamaha.com ?

The photos all look the same, but the 1/4-sized tuba has a 12.5" bell...

I use an older 6/4 Bb 4v Dotzauer. Bell 50 cm, bore 22 mm. Sounds good, but there is enormous much corrosion.
Restauration by Dotzauer will costs about 2600 EUR.

Compared to the cost of similar restorations in the USA, that might be a bargain!

I checked out the cerveny.biz web site listed in another thread, and there is a Dotzauer bass trumpet listed.

By the way, the Cerveny CBB 471 featured on that site is a cutie.

So I did: At least, I bought a used Cerveny 701 goldbrass in a good state for 2700 EUR.
But the 701 has a very difficult speech- the Dotzauer 6/4 plays nearly by itself.
