I saw this question posed on another thread but there were no answers. Would be curious to hear people's opinions. Some side by side pictures would be great too!

Thanks, that is quite helpful!

Still curious as to opinions of how each play. Which creates a larger, broader sound? better core and character of sound?

Thanks!

They fly the farthest when the mouthpiece is turned with the B in the 9 o'clock position.

FWIW, when I tried the Thor, I found it to be physically uncomfortable and hard to hold. That is common with me and tubas with tall upper bows.
