If Kanstul ever makes a rotary CC tuba, I would buy it. I want a modern, American made CC rotary tuba.

I have my Bessophone and a Reynolds 'glass souzy. For community band work, indoors and out, what more does a guy need?

After hearing some of Chester Schmitz's old recordings (including the YouTube posting of Boris Godunov transcriptions by Stokowski and the Tchaikovsky) I've become certain that I want an Alex... I would definitely be inclined to purchase a new one if I should happen to win (assuming I would even play) the lotto...

All the more reason to save my pennies. 12,300 is not in the budget and much like you, bloke, I don't believe in wasting money on the lotto.

A Stofer tuba would be #1 for me.

I agree with Billy M. So, Alexander for me. 
I've played a few old Alexanders and really liked 'em a lot. Just never had the need/funding for one every time I happened to play one. Plus, Chester Schmitz on those late 60s-70s BSO/BPO recordings. You gotta get the 2-CD Feidler/BPO "Symphonic Spectacular" -- Night on Bald Mountain, Festive Overture, 1812 --- need I say more?

Couldn't help but notice that Martin is absent from both Someday polls...
After getting to know and love my Martin Indiana sousie, a giant Martin recording bass is one I'd love to own.

I really enjoyed playing the Kanstul Eb 66T at ITEC 2014. My wallet was on fire.
Found some used ones, fire getting hotter in the wallet...
Before the vendors packed up, the deal was getting better with Eric at Kanstul.
The last thing I said to Eric was "How about a 66T in satin silver with 3 valves?"
Reply "We can make them how you like" errrgh the wallet is burning.
Long story short, a gift from the universe, thankyou, I got an attic fresh Giant Conn Eb 18J, circa 1918, satin silver about 1/8-th the burn of a used 66T. Huge THANKS to Dan thevillagetinker for playability, appearance and speedy work.

The two horns I liked the best at ITEC were the Adams 4/4 and the Stofer . They both fit me physically and I liked the way they played. I liked the Kanstul but ergonomics didn't work for me. I still think about selling two horns to buy one of them.
