Cool horn. I love me some big old 3 valve/affordable/goodenoughformostthingsonacontrabass Bb tubas. That one's not exactly affordable though.

Check out, also, the cool 4 top valve King Bb-

That Alex seems cheap, as far as Alexes go. Hopefully it's not a dog. If only I had the cash..

I had an Alex like that. $4200 is a little cheap, but this is only a four valve horn. Alexanders vary a lot from horn to horn. I never saw one that was a "dog" but intonation was sometimes an issue. The one I had was actually in tune with no slide work--a point and shoot Alex!
I would try before buying.

Oh... (embarrassed). I was thinking "tuba journal euphonium" and permutations thereof. A little slow on the uptake, I guess.
