That's been in their catalogue for a while. Was talking to Tom McGrady about this a few months ago (I think last October?) and the horn it was based off of, the Kalison F. We were discussing how he wasn't selling it because they wouldn't ship him a horn to try, unless he bought one outright, so he hasn't tried one (and therefore wasn't planning to sell them). He did mention that the Kalison was a horn that he never felt played all that well, especially considering others on the market.

I'd love to check one of these out, but I don't know where one can expect to see them. Not to mention that I'm sure the price for it is a bit too good to be true for a great piston F tuba. Man, I hope it would prove me wrong! :!:
