Hey guys and gals, I was just looking for some opinions/feedback...
What is the take on BMB tubas these days? Good build quality? Valve construction quality? Intonation? I know the sound is huge but now that they have been on the market for some time was hoping for an in depth from people who have played them for a longer period of time.
Thanks!

Re: Big Mouth Brass
Love 'em. They are unique to the "import" market in design and execution. The "3/4" is more a 7/8 and is the perfect trunk horn or quintet horn. The 4v 6/4 may be the best value on the market for a BAT.
Biased opinion.
