Italian Orsi Eb

I have one quite a bit like it, that in my opinion was well worth the $200 I payed. I'm not saying it's any kind of really fabulous miracle tuba, but it has a outgoing, cheerful personality and is fun to have around. Mainly I think it's small enough that it's no trick to really fill it up and make it sing. Possible starter tuba for a kid. Needs a Wick 5 mouthpiece.

At first I thought it might actually be their presumably rarer Eb cimbasso. The bell appears a little smaller than mine, but the cimbasso should be really spindly.
