Honestly this thread is quite charming but...
if you have an F tuba that can work in your hall and with your orchestra, it probably would be very good.

Steve would not have chosen to use the F for "wussy" reasons, only timbre reasons.

I've found that playing it on C is not that difficult. It only goes up to a Bb. You'd think that a person like Steve Dumaine would be able to play a Bb on a C tuba!

Landon, OUT!
