Looking for Eb tuba to try in DFW

[Euphtub]

Hello group,

I am looking for Eb tubas to try out so I can get an idea of what's available. I'm most interested in 5-valve horns, but if you have a 4-valve compensating or not I'd be interested in giving it a go.

I've tried Mark's 1903 satin silver Conn—sweet little horn. I am toying with the idea of purchasing an Eb to accompany my King rather than selling for an all around CC.

Thanks in advance. The wealth of information on this forum is usually stifling.

I don't know about that 3+1. I'd hate to have a euphonium gig and drop the ball sight reading a perfect 4th off. Lol

Not in DFW, but easily shipped to you. : )

This horn would compliment your King BBb nicely.

Shamelessly,

Thanks for the heads up, Frank. I'm about 8 months out from being able to purchase. I'm doing field research right now.

I didn't even think of the 4ub configuration. Roving Dixieland ok with that style?
