Waiting anxiously for my new Dillon 12915 5/4 BIbb tuba arrive tomorrow. Thanks to Matt at Dillon Music for his assistance. Hopefully FedEx is on time.
Love my Mack tuba, I just had to have piston tuba also.

Re: New Tuba
The Director of the local community wind band that I play in loved what he called a rich, round sound. Less brassy or sharp as compared to the TU-200. The pedal tones were more organ like.
