Dalyan Tubas???

[Rick Denney]

Has any one had any experience with these tubas? Sound, intonation, response anything??

If you do a search on "Dalyan", you'll find many threads that have mentioned them, including this one:

viewtopic.php?t=9014

And this one:

viewtopic.php?t=6628
(real prices are a bit lower than reported in this thread, from what I understand)

And this one:

viewtopic.php?t=8814

In summary, they are real tubas, imported by a real tuba importer with long-standing tuba-importing credentials, as opposed to the imitation tubas we have seen in the past from China. You may or may not like them, but that would be true of any tuba. Remember when comparing prices that these include a very usable lightweight hard case, which is normally a multi-hundred-buck option with most tubas.

I asked a question nearly identical to this one about a month ago. From the responces I received, they were pretty decent tubas for the money. But I still haven't played on one yet.
