These should be the most free-blowing 6/4 CC tubas and 3/4 Eb tubas ever!

Shove a mouthpiece in the end and find out!

Looks like a Conn 2 mouthpiece - good economical choice for a tuba that size.
I like the leadpipe - prevents my pitch filling and bending episodes.

Pet peeve (not at you, Marty): why do so many people love "free-blowing" instruments? I have trouble controlling an instrument that's extremely free-blowing. I get a better tone and better control with a bit of resistance.

I would have to say that there something 'open' about a valve-less horn!
