Experience with a true double tuba

Post by Diego A. Stine »

Has anyone here gotten a chance to try a true F/CC or F/BBb tuba? To my limited knowledge, I know Alexander and Gronitz have made a couple of very rare examples, but I'd be curious to see how many are played outside of a museum/collection context and what they sound like.
