stagg tubas

[tuba.bobby]

does anyone have experience with stagg tubas? im particularly looking at the c or f tubas, thought id ask others experiences before i go try one!

I don't have an experience with the tubas but I've done repairs to their trombones, saxophones, and F horns. Those instruments seem 'OK' but suffer from the same lack of workmanship that I see on many other imports. Price-wise, they are not all bad but prepare to spend a little time fiddling with slide alignment, cleaning buffing compound from the inside, and dealing with general 'fit & finish' issues.

By-the-way... Stagg seems to have good parts support... that's a GOOD thing.
