Unfortunately, the 993's that I've seen were produced when Boosey's quality control had finally made it into the sewer. Unlike the 983 Eb (which is a very nice instrument if you can find a "good one"), I found the bottom end of the 993 to be quite a bit stuffier than the old 3+1 Besson "New Standard" heavy-tank-of-an-ergonomic-nitghtmare tuba.
