Great horn, Howard johnson liked them so much that he has MW build one for him, and it sells for stupid money (though I've never heard of anybody actually buying one)
Wasn't the HoJo based off his Howard's Mahillon(sp?), instead of the MW-11?
A student of mine bought one of these and he's let me play on it. It's a very nimble tuba, fun to play. The valve springs were very stiff, so I traded him some lighter ones and now the valves just fly. Nice tuba.
