Dillon 399 F Tuba Opinions
Posted: Mon May 11, 2015 11:33 pm
I'm getting ready for grad school in the fall and am starting to look at F tubas (may be a bit late to the F Tuba game but oh well). The problem I've come across is the price on even the used versions of some of the more popular 'brand names'. I've been looking a lot at Chinese models from Mack and Eastman currently but I was wondering if anyone has tried the F tuba from Dillon Music. The shop is fairly close to where I live and wouldn't mind taking a trip down to try it out. It seems pretty affordable and I've heard great things about their CC tubas. I'm looking for a fairly versatile F tuba but the primary usage would be quintets and solo studying. I don't want to get anything too large either. If anyone has any advice that would push me in the right direction I would sincerely appreciate it. Thanks!
