I tried the BBb. I found the sound to be at least as robust as my 184. At high volume levels it tended to slide a bit towards a chain saw on me. As I said most small tubas do that when I overblow them. The low range was excellent as was the intonation. The intonation was far superior to my 184.GC wrote:Did you try the BBb or the CC? I was impressed by the sound and playability of the BBb, but thought the CC had a tiny sound and required too much work for what little sound it got.

I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

Re: Lidl Tubas
And prior to my purchasing the tuba from previous owner & Lee Stofer, Lee sent me this email describing the horn.
"The Lidl LBB-701 BBb is the closest thing to a 184 you can get these days. It is a little more like a 184 with a Conn 3J bell, as it has more bell flare than the Mirafone.
