Re: question
Mine is undoubtably the very best because IT HAS BEEN BLOKERIZED!
Hey Joe, Does that get me a discount on a blokepiece?

Re: question
Notice that it is maintenance free!
"Beautiful brand new chrome-plated zero-maintenance sousaphone made of quality brass. Comes complete with mouthpiece. Don't expect a pro-grade instrument finish or Monel-grade valves, but for it's price this entry-grade instrument is an excellent value purchase. Designed primarily for the college and streetband market,, a beautiful piece, in a very impressive size. Classic traditional heavyweight 30 lbs SOLID BRASS instrument, not a fiber glass pass off of the real thing!"
All you repair guys had better start looking for another line of work it these catch on.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the York CC #3 is widely heralded as the finest instrument ever made.

Re: question
The best tuba is either the Berkeley or Vento tuba. I don't know which for sure because I've never played either one but did hear some guys in school say it and one of them wrote it online somewhere.

Re: question
Any tuba that comes with and requires you to wear white gloves to protect your hands from the finish. They are the best.

Re: question
My horn is the best because it was once owned by some really famous pros who used it for some recordings.
