Plastic tuba

Re: Plastic tuba
By the color, it probably has a very dark sound.

Re: Plastic tuba
Looks like they copied the Yamaha YxB-621 series. I had only seen the rotary one in plastic. I'm curious about this piston one...

Perhaps that's total shipping weight? That does seem awfully high for a plastic tuba.
