When should I upgrade to a "better" tuba?

Once we understand that "parents suck," we should be able to figure out what the "parents" should do. This is not difficult to understand. Why even I get it.

Since Dale started this topic, my reply is: You should buy a new tuba when your private instructor tells you that your current tuba is limiting your progress.

Tubas? When I want one. I figure the more I buy the more I support the manufacturers and retailers, and that is a good thing. I can tell the difference between a lousy, a so-so, and a really fine instrument. It's not like there is a waiting list for a Besson 995 or a Miraphone 1291, so I'm not depriving some pro from having his horn on time.

You mean individuals actually buy them?

I played a school horn for 3 yrs in High School, and 4 years of college. Never in that time jplayed with an tuba player that owned their horn. I've never been in a store (music or other) taht had a tuba in it. Trumpet, trombones, clarinets, flutes, drum and guitars sure, but never a tuba. (No baritones either now that I think about it) I though you had be a school or orchestra to buy them.
